FOREIGNER ~The Fairwell Tour~

Rock n Roll veterans Foreigner have been at it for 47 years with multi-platinum records ands and dozens of hits that are still in heavy rotation on any Classic Rock radio station. All good things must come to an end, and Foreigner has decided to go out on top instead of fading away as they are currently on their “Historic Farewell Tour” ROCKIN stages across the USA.

Saying goodbye is never easy but Foreigner are doing so with a bang! They played a 90-minute set on Monday night August 21 at Fivepoint Amphitheater in Irvine, CA to a capacity crowd of rock n roll diehards. Unfortunately founding guitarist Mick Jones was out onstage with the band due to health issues, but the band is more than making up for Jones’ absence with a totally “Hot Blooded” set and by the energy they deliver and hit after hit onstage they surely are the undisputed “Jukebox Hero”.

From the opening song “Double Vision” to the mid-set acoustic songs to the set closer “Hot Blooded” vocalist Kelly Hansen and team seem a far cry away from needing to “hang it up” and call it a day. But at the end of the day, it’s always better to leave the fans wanting more while playing amphitheaters than hanging on too long and becoming a bar band.

Opening the show and keeping the 70’s/80’s radio hit theme going and proving they work more than on weekends was Loverboy. Mike Reno led the band of original members through a 35-minute set of nothing but hits that got the crowd fully primed for Foreigner.

This tour package is surely heating things up and be sure to catch Foreigner while you still can – it’s a guarantee you will love this show.
