That initial self-titled album was quickly followed by others, including Foreigner 4, Double Vision, Head Games, and others, each one greeted by critical acclaim and an outpouring of fan love. Each new release was also accompanied by an extensive tour, much to the delight of live music lovers everywhere, and now the band is back in all their glory, hitting the road once again.

When Foreigner rolls through Los Angeles in the upcoming months, they will bring their eclectic mix of rock, blues, and folk to the beautiful Greek Theater.
