Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner have announced a joint tour set for summer 2026, with plans to perform in 19 cities across North America as part of their Double Trouble Double Vision Tour.
The two classic rock bands will co-headline each night, beginning July 23 at the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Atlanta. The tour is scheduled to conclude Aug. 29 at the Walmart AMP in Rogers, Arkansas. Complete tour dates are listed below.
An artist presale begins at noon local time Tuesday, Nov. 18. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 9 a.m. local time Friday, Nov. 21. VIP packages are available. More information can be found on the official Foreigner and Lynyrd Skynyrd websites.
Both bands expressed excitement about the tour.
“The energy the band has felt knowing we’ll be touring with Skynyrd this coming summer has been electric,” Foreigner bassist Jeff Pilson said in a statement. “Two bands with plenty of iconic songs, dueling guitars, double trouble and double vision are gonna set each and every stage on fire. No question this will be the go-to event of the summer.”
Lynyrd Skynyrd vocalist Johnny Van Zant echoed the enthusiasm.
“I’m excited to share the stage with Foreigner and hear all their amazing hits,” Van Zant said. “I’ve always been a fan, and I believe the audience will love this tour. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner together — it doesn’t get much better than that. See y’all in 2026.”
Foreigner recently marked a significant milestone. With the band approaching its 50th anniversary in 2026, lead singer Kelly Hansen announced plans to step down and played his final concerts in October in Atlantic City. Guitarist Luis Maldonado, who joined Foreigner in 2021, has taken over as lead vocalist.
“Just the nature of this music and this band is that the cream does rise to the top,” Pilson said in October. “Once Luis’s voice was uncovered and we all realized what he had, including Kelly, the future became so clear to us. This whole transition just fell into place naturally and we couldn’t have asked for a better one.”
Lynyrd Skynyrd has also been active, releasing audio and video of their final concert with founding guitarist Gary Rossington, who died in 2023. The performance, recorded at the Ryman Auditorium in 2022, captured a key moment in the band’s history. Van Zant said the group has unreleased songs written with Rossington that may be recorded in the future.
“We recorded a song called ‘The Last of the Street Survivors,’ and we put it out in 2020,” Van Zant said. “We were headed to doing a new studio album, and then Gary’s health got really bad. There are other songs written with Gary before he died that we could record. We will leave that door open for the future.”
