Foreigner has been setting the standard in rock music since their chart-topping debut in the 1970s and ’80s. Recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Foreigner continues to captivate new generations with their timeless sound, reaching more than 20 million listeners each week on Classic Rock radio and amassing over 15 million streams weekly.
With nine Top 10 hits and 16 Top 30 songs—including unforgettable classics like “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Hot Blooded” and “Juke Box Hero”—Foreigner’s chart dominance rivals that of legends like Fleetwood Mac and surpasses many of their Classic Rock peers.
Recognized as one of the all-time greats, Foreigner ranked #49 on Billboard’s Hot 100 All Time Top Artists chart, and is one of the Top 40 in Business Insider’s Best-Selling Music Artists of All Time, selling over 80 million albums worldwide, including two platinum-certified digital downloads.
They are joining the previously announced act, “Weird Al” Yankovic. Concert-goers have the option to purchase concert-only tickets or tickets including Fair admission. The included admission is at a discounted price and is good for the day of the concert only. Concert tickets including Fair admission must be purchased by August 14. Details on ticket options and pricing are available on the Fair website. Convenience fees apply to all online concert ticket purchases.
