Foreigner brings its transatlantic rock catalogue to Wembley Arena on 19 June 2026. Formed in New York in 1976 by British guitarist Mick Jones with singer Lou Gramm, the British‑American band shaped a blend of hard rock, FM radio rock and AOR. Early singles such as Feels Like the First Time, Cold as Ice and Hot Blooded set the template: guitar hooks, melodic keyboards and choruses built for big rooms. The early albums Foreigner, Double Vision and Head Games established the sound, before the 80s delivered 4 and Agent Provocateur, with Urgent, Waiting for a Girl Like You and I Want to Know What Love Is bringing a turn toward ballads and radio formats.

Across decades and several line‑up changes, Jones has remained the anchor, steering the group back to the stage and a repertoire that spans generations. In concert, the set moves through these different eras, from the punch of the late‑70s records to the radio‑ready anthems of the 80s and later cuts, revisited by the current touring lineup. A show built around songs that many know by heart, played the way they were designed: for arenas.
