Foreigner have extended their farewell tour, with the band planning to feature classic members at select shows, including original lead singer Lou Gramm.

The dates start with a previously announced Las Vegas residency at The Venetian. Classic members Rick Wills and Al Greenwood will sit in with the band during the entire residency. Foreigner then has dates scheduled throughout 2025, beginning March 13th in Hollywood, Florida, and wrapping up with a two-night stand October 10th and 11th in Atlantic City, New Jersey. A press release states, “Discussions are in hand to include Lou Gramm as Foreigner moves toward its 50th anniversary in 2026.”  Gramm exited Foreigner in 2003, but joined them for select shows in 2017 and 2018. Kelly Hansen has been the band’s frontman since 2005, with no classic members in the current touring lineup. Founding guitarist Mick Jones is still an official member of Foreigner but no longer tours with the band due to his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease. Gramm, who has toured with his solo band in recent years, had previously stated he was retiring from touring at the end of this year.
