Foreigner remains one of classic rock’s most successful bands, bringing its catalog of arena favorites to audiences across North America. The current touring lineup continues performing many of the songs that helped make Foreigner one of the best-selling rock bands of all time.

Special guest Six Gun Sally is scheduled to open the evening.

Songs Fans Can Expect

Concertgoers can expect to hear many of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s biggest classics, with setlists that often include fan favorites such as “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Free Bird,” “Simple Man,” “Gimme Three Steps,” “Tuesday’s Gone,” “What’s Your Name,” “Saturday Night Special,” and “That Smell.” The videos below feature some of the band’s most iconic songs that fans may hear live during the concert.
