Foreigner

The 2027 tour is a direct follow-up to the sold-out open-air tour marking the band’s anniversary and marks the first time this line-up has played in the country’s largest venues. Swedish rock icons Europe will be appearing as special guests – a combination that brings together two of the most enduring chapters in classic rock history on one stage.

Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2024, Foreigner represent one of the most enduring repertoires in rock history: 10 multi-platinum albums, 16 Top 30 hits and over 80 million records sold worldwide (source: Nielsen SoundScan). Songs such as Cold As Ice, Juke Box Hero, Urgent and I Want To Know What Love Is – the latter recently joining the Spotify Billions Club – are an integral part of the international classic rock canon.

The current line-up, fronted by Luis Maldonado – who took over lead vocals in autumn 2025 following Kelly Hansen’s departure – alongside Jeff Pilson (bass), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar), Chris Frazier (drums) and John Roth (guitar), continues the tour with a setlist ranging from the early hits of the 1970s to the legendary album 4 – which spent longer at number one on the Billboard charts than any other album in the history of Atlantic Records.

Europe will accompany the tour as the support act – a combination with a reputation of its own. Founded in Upplands Väsby in 1979, the Swedish band led by frontman Joey Tempest boasts one of the most played rock tracks of all time in The Final Countdown (1986) and will perform with its original line-up: Tempest (vocals), John Norum (guitar), John Levén (bass), Mic Michaeli (keyboards) and Ian Haugland (drums). For the Arena Tour 2027, Europe will be bringing not only their classics but also their new studio album Come This Madness, due for release at the end of September 2026.
