FOREIGNER announce UK tour with special guests EUROPE and FM


FOREIGNER with special guests EUROPE and FM will appear onstage together for the first time ever taking in nine dates across the UK throughout April 2014.  The nine date UK tour kicks off on Thursday 3rd April at the O2 Apollo Manchester.  “I’m thrilled to be coming back home to England and touring with Europe and FM,” says Foreigner’s founding British member and lead guitarist, Mick Jones. “We’re looking forward to having a great time.”

A special 02 ticket presale begins at 9am Wednesday 14th August.  A special Planet Rock and Live Nation presale will begin at 9am Thursday 15th August.  Tickets will go on general sale from 9am, Friday 16th August at www.livenation.co.uk  and www.ticketmaster.co.uk with official Meet & Greet VIP packages available from www.vipnation.co.uk.

FOREIGNER, one of the biggest rock bands of all time, are internationally renowned for creating some of the most iconic songs in rock music. With ten multi-platinum albums and sixteen Top 30 hits, Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world with a formidable musical arsenal that continues to propel sold-out tours and album sales, now exceeding 75 million.  Responsible for some of rock & roll’s most enduring anthems including “Cold As Ice,” “Juke Box Hero,” “Feels Like The First Time,” “Urgent,” “Head Games,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” “Say You Will,” “Dirty White Boy,” “Long, Long Way From Home,” and the worldwide #1 hit, ”I Want To Know What Love Is,” Foreigner continues to rock the charts more than thirty years into the game.

Special guests are the legendary, multi million selling, Swedish hard rock band EUROPE. Hot off the heels of a Spanish tour with Def Leppard and Whitesnake, Europe have made nothing short of a remarkable comeback with their last four studio albums, “Start From The Dark,” “Secret Society,” “Last Look At Eden” and their ninth and most critically acclaimed studio album “Bag Of Bones.” Europe will perform songs from their last four albums, plus classics including “Rock The Night,” “Superstitious,” “Carrie,” “Prisoners In Paradise” and their worldwide No. 1 rock anthem “The Final Countdown.”

Special guests FM will be opening the concerts on the upcoming UK tour.  Earlier this year, FM released two critically-acclaimed albums “Rockville” and companion album, “Rockville II.”
