“I’m excited to join forces with my fellow U.K. countrymen, David Coverdale and Jason

Bonham, for what’s sure to be a rockin’ summer tour in the States,” says FOREIGNER

founding member and lead guitarist Mick Jones.

As Whitesnake lead singer David Coverdale says, “We are truly excited and looking forward to

playing in 2018 with our friends, Foreigner and Jason Bonham, on their North American tour.”

Says Jason Bonham, "Being part of Foreigner’s 40th Anniversary Tour last summer was

wonderful. Opening a show like that was very special to me, so when Mick asked if I’d do it

again in 2018, I said yes without hesitation. I’m excited that Whitesnake will be filling out the

middle slot this time as I’ve known David since I was 14 years old. It’s going to be a WHOLE

LOTTA FUN!"

Since the 1977 release of their first hit “Feels Like The First Time” and their self-titled debut

album on Atlantic Records, FOREIGNER has been universally hailed as one of the world’s

most popular rock acts with 10 multi-Platinum albums, 16 Top 30 hits, and worldwide album

sales exceeding 75 million. Responsible for some of rock and roll’s most enduring anthems

including “Juke Box Hero,” “Cold as Ice,” “Feels Like The First Time,” “Urgent,” “Head Games,”

“Say You Will,” and the worldwide #1 hit, “I Want To Know What Love Is,” FOREIGNER

continues to rock the charts forty years into the game with massive airplay and continued

Billboard “Top 200 Albums” chart success. FOREIGNER also features strongly in every

category in Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time” listing. Catalog sales often eclipse those of Led

Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Aerosmith, and most

of their Classic Rock peers. (Source: Nielsen SoundScan week ending 8/3/17). FOREIGNER’s

catalog sales were recently celebrated in Business Insider as hitting the Top 40 among the

Best Selling Music Artists of All Time ahead of Britney Spears, Bob Dylan, Phil Collins, Prince,

Queen, and Bon Jovi.

Throughout this tour, FOREIGNER will continue their long-standing partnership with The

GRAMMY Museum, by which local school choirs are invited to join the band on stage in almost

every market they play. Through this program over the past several years, the band has raised

well into the six figures for music in school programs, and given thousands of students

a life-changing experience to rock on stage with one of the most well-known bands of all time.

The band recently released a celebratory 40th anniversary album that features 40 tracks

tracing their distinguished career. Entitled 40, the album is a comprehensive compilation of

original hits and several tracks from the current lineup, with Kelly Hansen on vocals. All tracks

were recorded between 1977 and 2017. The current line-up is Mick Jones (lead guitar), Kelly

Hansen (lead vocals), Jeff Pilson (bass, vocals), Tom Gimbel (rhythm guitar, saxophone,

vocals), Michael Bluestein (keyboards), Bruce Watson (guitar), and Chris Frazier (drums).

 

Founded in 1978 by former Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, WHITESNAKE has earned

multi-Platinum status for numerous albums, including TROUBLE, LOVEHUNTER, READY AND

WILLING and COME AN’ GET IT, as well as the album that introduced the explosive hard rock

revamped WHITESNAKE sound with SLIDE IT IN. The band is currently celebrating the 30th

anniversary of their 1987’s self-titled multi-Platinum smash hit album, WHITESNAKE. From

these albums came multiple Top 10 hits worldwide, including two #1 singles with “Here I Go

Again” and “Is This Love,” as well as the unforgettable hammer of “Still Of The Night,” all

leading to virtual 24-hour domination of MTV around the globe. Bombast, bravado, talent and

passion have helped establish WHITESNAKE as the perennial platinum favorite they have

become and they’re back with a vengeance in 2018. The world-renowned group featuring

David Coverdale (vocals), Reb Beach (guitar), Joel Hoekstra (guitar), Michael Devin (bass),

Tommy Aldridge (drums) and Michele Luppi (keyboards) are currently in the studio recording

their tentatively titled new studio album FLESH & BLOOD. 

 

Following his participation in the monumental reunion of Led Zeppelin at London’s O2 arena in

2007, drummer Jason Bonham decided to take the music his father was such a huge part of

out on the road. The result became Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening. Best described as

a band that perfectly recreates the music of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and

John Bonham, Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening not only celebrates one of music’s most

iconic bands but also the life of Bonham's late father, who died in 1980.

When asked why he decided to start the project, Jason said, "It was medicine to relieve myself

from the amount of Led Zeppelin that I had studied and rehearsed prior to the O2 show and

then dealing with the realization that it wasn’t going to go anywhere beyond that one concert. It

originally began as me just wanting to put together a show, but once I realized I could make it

more than just the music it became something more. It gave me the opportunity to give a little

nod to what everyone knows about my dad’s wild side but also show his sensitive side as well.

For me, he was always dad at home and this was an idea to show a deeper side of that."
