Foreigner Farewell Tour Continues This Fall Tour Stop In Casper Featuring Loverboy & Lita Ford

With more Top 10 hits than Journey, Foreigner, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-nominated band, is announcing the next leg of their farewell tour this fall, with special guests Loverboy and Lita Ford on select dates.

And they will make a stop for their fans in Wyoming.

After the band wraps up their first leg of the farewell tour in Memphis, TN in the Fall, with Styx and John Waite, Foreigner will continue saying goodbye to their loyal fans on September 23 as they play the Charleston Civic Center, in West Virginia.

Leader and founder of Foreigner , guitarist Mick Jones says, “Many years ago, I wrote a song called ‘Feels Like The First Time’ and today we are launching the next leg of our last worldwide tour.  We will be presenting a show that I know will have the same enthusiasm as our very first appearances.  The tour started last summer in America and we hope to get to every place that we have played over the last several years.  While I’m sure our fans will have mixed feelings about the end of the road for the band, I know our shows are going to delight audiences everywhere.”

Lead singer Kelly Hansen, “The time has come. We have more or less lived our lives on the road for almost twenty years.  We have always strived to give you our best and we intend to finish this the same way. Foreigner has a brilliant and increasingly demanding catalog of songs to sing and I refuse to give them less than they deserve. So, we’re going to finish strong. I want to make it very clear how grateful and appreciative we are to our audiences all over the world who have supported this band.  I’m sure there may be occasions when we’ll do some special appearances, but I think the time is coming for us to live off the road. Thank you all so much!”

Members of the Canadian band, Loverboy, are also excited to get back on the road with a band they haven’t toured with since the Reagan Administration.  “I remember how cool the last time we toured with Foreigner was in 1982.  We played to massive stadiums – New Orleans, Kansas City, Day On the Green in Oakland, JFK in Philly – and we’re back together again, 41 years later.  It’s going to be the Tour of Fall ’24!” says Loverboy’s guitarist Paul Dean.

“It’s not very often you get a chance to play on the same stage as one of your all-time favorite bands…and how many hit songs can you play on the same stage every night of a tour?….. it’s going to be amazing…. I can’t wait,” added lead singer Mike Reno of Loverboy.

Since she was a teen, Lita Ford has been living the “Rock Star” lifestyle with recording great music, touring, and playing all over the world for her fans.  She says being on tour with this lineup is special.  “As a young guitarist in The Runaways days, who could forget how Foreigner ruled the airwaves, you just couldn’t hear them enough.  Such badass songs that really hit home with everyone!  I will be getting my inspiration from [the band] to set the mood and the energy for each show.  Great rock n roll NEVER dies!”.

Foreigner will continue its long-term initiative with the Grammy Museum Foundation to invite choirs to open the show with a live a cappella ‘Pitch Perfect’ performance of Classic Rock songs. Foreigner will join radio partners across the country to create a contest for local choirs to win donations to their music programs. One winning choir will be selected at each show, and that choir will receive a grand prize of new musical equipment.  For details, click here.

Mick Jones continues to elevate Foreigner’s influence, guiding the band to new horizons with his stylistic songwriting, indelible guitar hooks, and multi-layered talents while lead singer Kelly Hansen has led Foreigner into the digital age inspiring a whole new generation of fans.

With more Top 10 hits than Journey and as many as Fleetwood Mac, as well as ten multi-platinum albums, Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world with a formidable musical arsenal that continues to propel sold-out tours and album sales, now exceeding 80 million.  Responsible for some of rock and roll’s most enduring anthems including “Juke Box Hero,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” “Feels Like The First Time,” “Urgent,” “Head Games,” “Say You Will,” “Dirty White Boy,” “Long, Long Way From Home” and the worldwide #1 hit, “I Want To Know What Love Is,” Foreigner has sealed their history in the pantheon of great rock bands that still rocks the charts more than 40 years into the game with massive airplay and continued Billboard Top 200 album success.  Streams of Foreigner’s hits are approaching 15 million per week.

With their trademark red leather pants, bandanas, big rock sound and high-energy live shows, Loverboy has sold more than 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaques, including the four-million-selling “Get Lucky,” and a trio of double-platinum releases in their self-titled 1980 debut, 1983’s “Keep It Up” and 1985’s “Lovin’ Every Minute of It.” Their string of hits includes, in addition to the anthem “Working for the Weekend,” such arena rock staples as “Lovin’ Every Minute of It,” “This Could Be the Night,” “Hot Girls in Love,” “The Kid is Hot Tonite,” “Notorious”, “Turn Me Loose,” “When It’s Over,” “Heaven In Your Eyes” and “Queen of the Broken Hearts.”

Lita Ford’s career began in 1975 as a founding member and guitarist of the groundbreaking all female group the Runaways. The group’s hard rock / punk edge spawned hits like “Cherry Bomb” and “Queens of Noise”. In 1983 Lita launched her career as a solo artist with her début album “Out For Blood” establishing her as the premier female performer in rock and Heavy Metal. Lita quickly followed up in 1984 with the release of “Dancin’ on the Edge” which earned her a Grammy nomination in the Best Female Rock Vocal Performance category. The album produced the world charting single “Fire In My Heart” and the U.S. Billboard top 50 charting hit “Gotta Let Go”. The song, along with the video being in MTV’s top rotation, began to make Ford a household name and face.
