Blog Post: Foreigner mark their 50th anniversary with two acoustic shows in Beaver Creek, Colorado on February 25-26 at the Vilar Performing Arts Center, exactly 50 years after the band’s first rehearsal took place in New York. Al Greenwood, the first band member recruited by founder and band leader Mick Jones, remembers that February 25, 1976 rehearsal as the day he first heard “Feels Like The First Time” and knew they had something special. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will present Foreigner The Hits Unplugged featuring band members Luis Maldonado on lead vocals, Jeff Pilson on bass, Michael Bluestein on keyboards, and Bruce Watson on guitar. The milestone celebration continues throughout 2027 when the band marks the 50th anniversary of the March 8, 1977 release of their iconic self-titled debut album, which delivered timeless hits including “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold As Ice”, and “Long, Long Way From Home”.
The 50th anniversary tour runs throughout 2026 in multiple formats, starting with the acoustic Colorado run that adds dates February 28 in Greeley and March 1-2 in Aspen. An orchestral tour commences with a March 6-14 residency at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas before hitting Redding, Folsom, San Diego, Napa, and San Jose in California. The band plays Idaho Falls, Airway Heights, Ridgefield, and Auburn in the Pacific Northwest before heading to Florida in April with original vocalist Lou Gramm as special guest for Foreigner 4 Deluxe, presenting ‘4’ in its entirety alongside the band’s Top 10 hits. “When I started Foreigner in 1976, I never could have imagined that these songs would carry us through fifty years and still resonate with audiences around the world,” Jones says. “This anniversary is a celebration not just of the music, but of the fans who have been with us every step of the way.”
