Foreigner

Foreigner, the iconic English-American rock band, has been setting the standard in rock music since their chart-topping debut in the 1970s and ’80s. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2024, Foreigner continues to captivate new generations with their timeless sound, reaching more than 20 million listeners each week on Classic Rock radio and amassing over 15 million streams weekly.

With nine Top 10 hits and 16 Top 30 songs—including unforgettable classics like “I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Hot Blooded” and “Juke Box Hero”—Foreigner’s chart dominance rivals that of legends like Fleetwood Mac and surpasses many of their Classic Rock peers. Their album Foreigner 4 spent more time at #1 on the Billboard charts than any other Atlantic Records album, and their single “Waiting For A Girl Like You” set a Billboard record with 14 weeks at #2.

Recognized as one of the all-time greats, Foreigner ranked #49 on Billboard’s Hot 100 All Time Top Artists chart, ahead of icons like the Eagles and Aerosmith. As one of the Top 40 in Business Insider’s Best-Selling Music Artists of All Time, Foreigner has sold over 80 million albums worldwide, with hit songs like “Juke Box Hero” and “I Want To Know What Love Is” earning platinum certifications from the RIAA.

Today, Foreigner’s lineup includes legendary lead guitarist and vocalist Mick Jones alongside Kelly Hansen (vocals), Jeff Pilson (bass), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar), Chris Frazier (drums) and Luis Maldonado (guitar). Together, they continue to deliver electrifying performances and keep Foreigner’s spirit alive for fans old and new.
