FOREIGNER founding member and lead guitarist Mick Jones says: “I am very much looking forward to the band being back on the road with our old friends, STYX. Our ‘Soundtrack Of Summer’ tour ten years ago was a blockbuster, and our tour album was a Billboard chart success. It’ll be a great time had by all. As an added bonus, John Waite will accompany us on the journey, adding his #1 hits to a special night of classic rock.”
FOREIGNER lead singer Kelly Hansen says: “As we continue on with our farewell tour, I have been very moved by the support and reaction of all of our fans. To perform these next shows with our friends STYX and John Waite makes it even better. I am so looking forward to spending many beautiful summer nights all around the country, full of great classic rock, music, and great friends.”
STYX founding guitarist James “JY” Young exclaims: “We’re very excited to be sharing the concert stage with FOREIGNER and John Waite in the summer of 2024. We have previously toured with FOREIGNER and the result was both bands kicked ass and had a great time doing it. Looking forward to seeing everybody this summer!”
John Waite declares: “Looking forward to blazing across the USA with my band this summer. All the hits in all the cities. It will be major. A great night. Don’t miss it — be there!”
“We always look forward to being with our buddies in STYX,” Hansen told Ultimate Classic Rock. “We’ve done so many things with them. They’re absolute professionals, which is what you want. You want to be on the road with someone you can count on — not some crazy, weird, ego-driven, maniacal bullshit fest, that every day there’s some new thing you have to deal with. They’re just spot on … but they’re also very funny, very affable guys.”
STYX‘s Tommy Shaw said about the tour with FOREIGNER: “I heard ‘Cold As Ice’ and I remember listening to that and going, ‘Who is that?’ I was blown away. That was my first exposure to FOREIGNER. The hits just kept coming after that. When I finally got to see them live, I thought, ‘Man, this is somebody that we can hopefully eventually work with.’ It’s so nice that the music still lives and we can all go on these kinds of tours.”
