FOREIGNER and DON FELDER - Monday, August 22
FOREIGNER. With ten multiplatinum albums and sixteen Top 30 hits, Foreigner is hailed as one of
the most popular rock acts in the world with a musical arsenal that continues to propel sold-out tours
and album sales, now exceeding 75 million. Responsible for some of rock and roll’s most enduring
anthems including “Juke Box Hero,” “Feels Like The First Time,” “Urgent,” “Head Games,”
“Hot Blooded,” “Cold As Ice,” “Dirty White Boy,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” 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. At Foreigner’s core is founder and lead guitarist Mick Jones, the
visionary maestro whose stylistic songwriting, indelible guitar hooks and multi-layered talents
continue to escalate Foreigner’s influence, along with lead vocalist Kelly Hansen, bass guitarist Jeff
Pilson and multi-instrumentalist Tom Gimbel.
DON FELDER, formerly of the Eagles, will open for Foreigner. The Eagle's record-setting
compilation, Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) sold over 29 million copies in the U.S. alone. A
member of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 1998, Felder served as a member of The Eagles
for 27 years, putting his mark on numerous Eagles milestones. Felder originated the music and cowrote The Eagle's biggest hit – the iconic, Grammy-studded smash “Hotel California” – along with
fan favorites like “Victim of Love” and “Those Shoes”. He became immediately celebrated for his
lyrical, signature guitar work on legendary songs like “Hotel California,” “One of These Nights,”
“New Kid In Town,” and numerous more.
