They’ve had nine Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
Every week, they get close to 15 million audio and video streams.
And despite having formed nearly 50 years ago, they still consistently reach an audience exceeding 80 million radio listeners each month.
Foreigner is one of the most popular rock acts in the world and is coming to Virginia Beach — perhaps, for the last time.
The band will play at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach on Aug. 20 as part of its “The Historic Farewell Tour.”
Rock-and-roller John Waite — whose 1984 single “Missing You” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — will open the show and will be followed by the rock band Styx, before Foreigner takes over the stage and closes the night.
“People should expect a lot of great tunes that they already know performed at high energy with a crowd singing on their feet; it’s always an exciting, sort of festive, atmosphere,” said Michael Bluestein, the band’s keyboardist.
In an interview, Bluestein, who joined Foreigner in 2008, described the band’s farewell tour as bittersweet.
