Foreigner is set to bring a unique symphonic rock experience to Las Vegas with “Foreigner: The Hits Orchestral — Celebrating 50 Years Live in Vegas” from March 6-14, 2026, at The Venetian Theatre. This event will feature a 20-member symphony accompanying the band, highlighting hits like “I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Cold As Ice,” and “Juke Box Hero.”
Tickets are available starting at 10 a.m. Pacific time on Friday through Ticketmaster, VenetianLasVegas.com, or at The Venetian/Palazzo box offices.
The orchestral arrangements for the show have been crafted by Juilliard-trained cellist Dave Eggar, known for his collaborations with artists like Coldplay and Beyoncé. Eggar has teamed up with the band’s percussionist Chuck Palmer, who will also conduct the performances.
Foreigner, recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, previously explored the symphonic concept with their 2018 album “Foreigner With The 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus,” recorded in Lucerne, Switzerland.
While Foreigner’s formal lineup for the Vegas shows hasn’t been confirmed, Kelly Hansen, the band’s lead singer for the past 20 years, has been a constant presence in their Las Vegas performances. However, Hansen has chosen to step back from international performances, with no official reason given.
The band’s former lead singer, Lou Gramm, is scheduled for an eight-date tour in Mexico and South America starting April 28. Additionally, Canadian singer Geordie Brown is set to perform with Foreigner for several shows in Canada this fall.
Foreigner achieved significant success in the mid-1970s through the 1980s, with numerous top-10 Billboard hits and continues to maintain a strong streaming presence.
