UPDATE: May 3, 2017: The four UK shows have been postponed until 2018. More details to follow.
Foreigner have added 4 UK dates to their 40th anniversary tour.
The band will embark on the next leg of live dates later this week, when they play across the US. They’ll then cross the Atlantic for several European dates – which now includes appearances in Wolverhampton, Glasgow, Manchester and a night at London’s Royal Albert Hall in November.
Founding member Mick Jones says: “I never could have imagined when I set out to create Foreigner 40 years ago, that we’d still be touring around the world and performing the music we love all these years later.
“I can’t express the gratitude I feel when fans share stories of how our songs have been woven into their milestones and memories over the years.”
Jones also reports that having the opportunity to play the iconic London venue will be “a true honour.”
He continues: “Playing at The Royal Albert Hall has been a childhood dream, as one of my earliest memories was attending a Gustav Holst concert, mesmerised by Sir Malcolm Sargent conducting The Planet Suite.
“To perform with my band at this iconic venue decades later, as Foreigner celebrates its 40th anniversary year, is a true honour.”
Foreigner will be supported on the UK dates by John Parr and Asia, who will be performing in memory and celebration of founder member John Wetton, who died in January. It was revealed this week that Billy Sherwood will take Wetton’s place in the band.
