We have already gotten our tickets and are looking SOOO VERY FORWARD to seeing Styx the concert!!! I have seen them already 8-9 times, but Foreigner only twice. I did not see The Babys. Because of a spinal surgery in April, I'll be in a back brace, but would NEVER, EVER miss a chance to see my favorite band live!!! My husband and I cannot wait to see this lineup in person. This should be one of the best lineup I've seen in over 30 years(at least). Thanks to everyone who put these bands together for this epic concert.
Foreigner is the headliner, which works out perfect. You get to see the entire Styx set, and then you can watch two thirds of Foreigners set. Perfect time to leave and beat the traffic.
No bout a doubt it my friend great minds think alike. As much as I dig Foreigner I did exactly just that & headed out to the highway not even half way through the so-called band "Foreigner" set. Don't get it twisted the band & definitely Kelly's voice sounded excellent. But, it's hard for me to take any group of musicians serious no matter how good they are when they're nothing more than a glorified tribute band. IDK how they can stand on stage every night make-believing they're someone they're not. Just saying... 🤔 ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++ 🤘😜🤘
Me too. I saw Foreigner with Mick Jones a few years ago - which I recognize as Foreigner. But when Jones is not with them, I don’t recognize as Foreigner.
Poor Lou. He created and sang those songs with Mick- the soundtrack to our lives - and they act like he never existed. Highly disrespectful in my opinion.
@@jimfoster8554It's not just about Lou, these guys sound and look nothing like Foreigner, so how can they be Foreigner? I'd love to hear your explanation.
Have seen Foreigner and STyx many, many times before. With and Without Lou and Dennis. Foreigner is much better than last night's show. The drums were overpowering in their very low bass range. The sound guys also didn't get Kelly's vocals sounding as good as he has in the past. You could tell he was trying to compensate, but the sound wasn't great.
Foreigner is nothing more than tribute band living off the name Foreigner. Such a rip off. Mick Jones is nowhere to be found. Not one original member. They just completed their summer “Farewell” tour and here they are touring once more. Not once did they mention Lou or Mick. The sad thing is 95% of the concert audience doesn’t even knows this. It’s fraudulent!
Glad I'm seeing styx solo! Huge pass on this ! Foreigner is nothing except a tribute band ! With a singer copying the great Lou Gramm! Even Lou can't stand him! Save your money! Just greed from mick Jones!
Kelly Hansen just imitates Lou. He doesnt add anything to the group. Thats a hard pass for me. There is only lead singer in Foeigner and that was Lou Gramm.
Get real !! Kelly Hansen is NOT the original singer in Foreigner and I still remember the first replacement for Lou Gramm yep, Johnny Edwards who was picked over Hansen and Mark Free in 1990. Yep, Hansen tried out for Foreigner TWICE. Also, Tommy Shaw is NOT an original member of Styx he succeeded John Curelewski (RIP) This smells completely of tribute bands. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Thats like saying the Chili Peppers arent the Chili Peppers because they dont have their original guitarist or Rush is a tribute band? Neil was their second drummer. Almost impossible for the same group to be playing together 30 years later. Now I'll admit no original members is one thing but Tommy has been with Styx since at least Grand Illusion if not Crystal Ball.
@ChrisHaaker Tommy is still not an original member. The first 5 STYX albums had John Curelewski and Styx' final A&M album had Glenn Burtnik while Tommy was a Damn Yankee . So don't fret over it. Life is good. Without Deyoung, Styx is a tribute band 2.0.
@ChrisHaaker Like it or lump it Chris, uh, STYX II, which contained LADY which became a NATIONAL HIT before Tommy Shaw, was released in 1973, and Styx left WOODENICKEL in 1974 to A&M and LADY charted at #6 on Billboard in March 1975. I was around at the time, and me plus some( real close) school friends were huge Styx fans. Thus, by the time Pieces of Eight came out despite Tommy Shaw being a new member on the Crystal Ball album, we placed an order for all the WOODENIKEL albums and hey the record store in Regency Mall sent them to us. So I wouldn't say in 1978 that the first 5 albums weren't relevant . They made more people interested in ALL of their music. I'm just saying you really shouldn't misjudge Styx fans.
So much for the farewell tour.
KISS spent 4 years on a farewell tour! LOL
This is part of it...
@2v_5r84Yes, it's normal to say farewell for five years, right? And while you're doing it you're singing "money, money, money,...".....
Amazing that these two bands survived without their two best singers. Miss you Lou and Dennis.
The best opening act I ever saw was the Baby's opening for Styx
Styx is still the best band on the circuit. Can't wait to see them. Foreigner will be a good warm-up..
I've seen Styx twice!!! They still sound as good as they did back in the day
Foreigner will be closing the show I’m going to
I'll be seeing you both in a few weeks
Kelly is an awesome vocalist, in a Foreigner tribute band.
Whoo Hoo! Yes! Big fan of both incredibly talented and still vivacious rock groups!
I agree! I’ve seen them both within the past couple of years and would love to see them on this tour!

Hi✋, Great Combo for ‘24. I saw Kelly Live at Soaring Eagle Casino a Month ago & he was Freakin’ Awesome!! 🔥🔥Rock On🤘
Already got my tickets can't wait!!!

Haha this

Hope Bujie will be bussing with you boys!!!
I loved Lou but Kelly is a great frontman with spot on vocals. Saw Him leading Foreigner twice…A+ show.
You can change out the band members, but you can never change the lead vocalist, and if the lead singer is changed, than it's no longer the band.
If Lou Gramm isn't on vocals, it simply isn't Foreigner
Heck, Mick Jones doesn’t even tour anymore. No original members touring as “Foreigner”
@@dancrumbo5922 Wasn't aware of that. Loved Foreigner back in my HS days. Class of 81. These acts are nothing but Tribute bands now
I saw them 2 years ago and they were fantastic. Glad they are carrying on.
Me too. I saw Foreigner with Mick Jones a few years ago - which I recognize as Foreigner. But when Jones is not with them, I don’t recognize as Foreigner.
Exactly! This guy acts like he’s the original with Foreigner.. when Lou Gramm guested with the band he was great! This guy appeared to be jealous.
We’re in!
Sweet!
Foreigner is a tribute band now. Nothing more.
I think you should gey Ptras Rock band tl open for Styx and Foreigber
That was frickin hilarious…I’ll go see em!
Great news 🤗
John Waite got about a .05 second mention there at the end, actually more like a flash. That's too bad.
I’m sure they were a great sounding cover band
Got em…see y’a in Toronto June 14! Rock on!
I don't understand the new singer responding to the old foreigner as if he were in it then in this video
Money
😂😂😂😂😂 great vid
Love Lou Gramm but this guy is good too. The songs are the star.
Yes, the songs are always the star, in a Tribute Band. Those are truly the facts. Well said.
That’s called a tribute band
No Dennis of Styx right?
No Dennis with Styx (lead vocals) and no Lou with Foreigner (lead vocals)
@@MrDugfresh420so nothing that makes the bands what they are. Sad
Might as well have Supertramp without Roger Hodgson too
Dennis was replaced with Lawrence Gowan in like 99
Poor Lou. He created and sang those songs with Mick- the soundtrack to our lives - and they act like he never existed. Highly disrespectful in my opinion.
I get the Lou thing, but You Gotta Support the Musicians that are Headlining the Current Label. Not Everyone wants to or can be on Tour✌️
@@jimfoster8554It's not just about Lou, these guys sound and look nothing like Foreigner, so how can they be Foreigner? I'd love to hear your explanation.
I’ve seen Foreigner and Styx too. Fantastic shows! I’m just glad the bands carry on with great music. Excellent performances!
@@jimfoster8554give me a break. Without Lou and Mick it’s a tribute band. 😂
they’re frauds. It’s a tribute band getting rich off the Foreigner name.
No Lou, and no Dennis?... Then it's not Foreigner, and it's not Styx!
Exactly! Just a cash grab.
Tommy and JY never got over Dennis having a #1 song without them. (Tommy got a charity guitar solo put in Babe, JY not even a thought)
Yes sir. Good bands just not Styx and foreigner
😂 Ok what are the dates??
Did you expect someone to type all of the dates here?
Seeing Styx in Vegas in January any chance Foreigner will be there too???
Looks great! Will Mick Jones be on stage with Foreigner? What about JY for Styx?
JY is always there with Styx...
Just wondering why the letter was penned from T & L? Not J?
You actually believe Mick will be there 😂
James Young seems to have issues with acknowledging the Grearness of Dennis DeYoung
@@jeffreymiller9808 no, I'm pretty sure he just has issues with spending 200-300 days a year with him.
See you August 4th!
Great can't wait.
ok so that's not really forienger it's a tribute band- no original members
Rather see Lou gramm sleeping than this guy
💯 Any time.
Have seen Foreigner and STyx many, many times before. With and Without Lou and Dennis. Foreigner is much better than last night's show. The drums were overpowering in their very low bass range.

It’s fraudulent!
They need to change the name of the group none of the older members mentioned coming back they are the ones that make Foreigner
@2v_5r84 what farewell tour? You must mean the faux farewell tour! They’ve been in it for 10 years now. Milking it for all it’s worth. 😩 Fraud…
@@EmilyFears-un4qt thank you! 💪
No Gramm No sale!!!
So the Foreigner cover band farewell tour was a sham like all the other farewell tours----- gimmick to grift of the fans.
Most people that attend the show have no idea there are no original band members left. They’re paying to see a tribute band. Sad but true.
i went and it sucked.@@billbreed
Glad I'm seeing styx solo! Huge pass on this !
Foreigner is nothing except a tribute band !
With a singer copying the great Lou Gramm!
Even Lou can't stand him!
Save your money! Just greed from mick Jones!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
just saw styx...and now comming back with foreigner cover band....pass......styx with shaw very good
Is this for real
