Classic rock invades the Northland again this month as one of the most popular rock bands in the world will return to Duluth on their farewell tour with a very special guest.

Foreigner was founded in 1976 and their album sales now exceed 80 million. Anyone who has seen them in concert knows they put on a great show, but not everyone may be aware of their distinguished track record.

Here are just a few amazing facts:

  • Foreigner has 9 Top 10 hits, the same as Fleetwood Mac and more than Journey and most of their Classic Rock peers. Their audio and video streams total almost 15 million every week.
  • Foreigner is consistently in the Top 20 at Classic Rock radio with a weekly audience exceeding 20 million.
  • Foreigner ‘4’ sat at #1 on the Billboard charts longer than any album by any artist in Atlantic Records’ 75-year history.
  • Breaking the record in Billboard magazine, ‘Waiting For A Girl Like You’ was #2 in the Top 10 for 14 weeks and landed Foreigner at #49 on Billboard’s Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists chart above the Eagles at #54, Fleetwood Mac at #73 and Aerosmith at #90.
  • Digital downloads of ‘Juke Box Hero’ and ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ were certified platinum by the RIAA indicating Foreigner’s resonance in the new era.
