We’ve got bad news, Jukebox Heroes.
Foreigner is staging their ‘Historic Farewell Tour’ with Loverboy from March 24 all the way to Sept. 30.
66 more shows and then the “I Want To Know What Love Is” hot blooded classic rockers are hanging it up for good.
Before they’re gone though, fans will have the opportunity to catch Mick Jones and co. live in NY (where they got their start!) and NJ.
On July 28, Foreigner will swoop into Darien Center, NY’s Darien Lake Amphitheater.
After that, they’ll bring “Cold As Ice” and all their other massive hits to Saratoga Springs, NY’s Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Aug. 1, Wantagh, NY’s Jones Beach Theater on Aug. 2, Syracuse, NY’s St. Joseph’s Amphitheater on Sept. 2 and finally Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Sept. 3.
Given the historic nature of this tour, tickets are surprisingly cheap.
In fact, at the time of publication, we found some going for as low as $30 before fees on Vivid Seats.
No, you’re not experiencing “Double Vision” — you really can see the legendary group for prices that make sense on their final tour.
