Foreigner is best known for their string of 1970s and 1980s hits, including “I want to know what love is,” “Feels like the first time,” “I don’t want to leave without you,” “Urgent,” “Hotblooded” and “Cold as ice.”

Formed in New York in 1976 by British guitarists Mick Jones, and Ian McDonald (formerly of King Crimson) along with three Americans — vocalist Lou Gramm, Al Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi. Jones came up with the name Foreigner because he and McDonald were from the UK. They had immediate success with their top four albums certified as at least 5x platinum in the US. Foreigner is one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 80 million albums worldwide.

Mick Jones is the only original member of the band still touring. He will be joined in Israel by Kelly Hansen (vocals), Jeff Pilson (guitar), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar), Chris Frazier (drums) and Luis Maldonado (guitar).

The last time the band performed in Israel, in 2018, Mick Jones was unable to play due to illness.
