Foreigner is heading back to the Las Vegas Strip for six shows marking the 50th anniversary of its debut album, with performances booked at The Venetian Theatre on March 10, 12, 13, 17, 19 and 20, 2027. Each show kicks off at 8 p.m., and founding keyboardist Al Greenwood is set to rejoin the band for several of the dates — a reunion that ties directly into the catalog of hits the run is built around.
The residency, billed as “Foreigner: 50 Years of Hits,” was confirmed by multiple outlets covering the Strip's live music scene, including neon.reviewjournal.com, which reported the band is returning to the venue for the milestone celebration. According to fox5vegas.com, general ticket sales begin Friday, Oct. 30, at 10 a.m. Pacific, with prices starting at $55 plus applicable fees. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster.com, VenetianLasVegas.com and any box office at The Venetian Resort, the station's report adds.
Fans with Citi cards get a head start: presale access opens today, Oct. 27, at 10 a.m. Pacific, per bravewords.com. The same report notes that The Venetian Theatre has served as Foreigner's exclusive Las Vegas home for several years and that the band has played more dates there than at any other venue in the world.
A Founding Member Returns to the Stage
Al Greenwood, a founding member of Foreigner, is expected to join the band for several performances during the run, according to bravewords.com. Greenwood performed on the band's first three albums — Foreigner, Double Vision and Head Games — as reported by vegaschanges.com. The site also notes Foreigner's commercial footprint, pointing out that the band has more Top 10 hits than Journey and as many as Fleetwood Mac.
Separately, ultimateclassicrock.com reports that original singer Lou Gramm is scheduled to play all six Las Vegas shows with the band, from March 10 through March 20, 2027. That same report states Gramm and Greenwood won't appear together at the same shows on the anniversary tour, meaning fans hoping to catch both founding members on the same night may want to check which nights each performer is confirmed for before buying tickets.
As for who else will be onstage, the current touring lineup has been described a bit differently across outlets. consequence.net lists the band as Luis Maldonado, Jeff Pilson, Bruce Watson, Michael Bluestein and Chris Frazier, while vegaschanges.com's listing also includes guitarist John Roth. According to KLAS 8 News Now, that same core group of current members joined Gramm, original bassist Rick Wills and Greenwood onstage at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in October 2024 to celebrate Foreigner's induction — a nod to the band's stated approach of featuring original members whenever possible.
The Setlist and the Milestone Behind It
Fans can expect the hits the band built its half-century reputation on. Per vegaschanges.com, the expected setlist runs from “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Cold as Ice” and “Waiting for a Girl Like You” to “Hot Blooded,” “Juke Box Hero” and more. The Venetian Resort's own listing for the shows notes that Foreigner has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide, with 10 multi-platinum albums and 16 Top 30 hits, according to venetianlasvegas.com.
The Las Vegas residency is part of a broader 50th-anniversary tour that Foreigner launched in 2026 and that is expected to continue into 2027, per ultimateclassicrock.com's separate reporting on the band's 2027 Vegas plans. Consequence.net reports that the current leg of that tour is set to wrap Nov. 1 in Reno, Nevada, before the band resumes touring in February 2027 — setting up the March Venetian dates as an early highlight of the next stretch.
KLAS 8 News Now also reports that Foreigner is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its debut album's release and expects more announcements about the Las Vegas performances in the coming months. The anniversary campaign extends beyond the stage: the band has described a forthcoming documentary, In the Eye of the Storm, which was filmed on Ellis Island and features live performances alongside behind-the-scenes footage of Foreigner through the years, slated for theatrical release. Reports on the exact release window have varied, with blabbermouth.net and broadwayworld.com citing different timeframes for the film's theatrical debut.
