FOREIGNER Prepares For 'Historic' NYC Concert; Band To Release New Live DVD

March 25, 2011

FOREIGNER will perform an exclusive show at the P.C. Richard & Son Theater in New York City on March 30 as part of iHeartRadio Live, a Clear Channel entertainment production that features private performances and interviews with today's top recording artists. The band will play selections from "4" and other songs from their repertoire of sixteen Top 30 songs and radio favorites. Videos from the show will be available on Q1043.com and iheartradio.com.

Released in 1981, "4" was FOREIGNER's fourth studio album and features the hit singles "Urgent", "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "Juke Box Hero".

"To provide the Q104.3 audience with an exclusive, intimate performance with a band like FOREIGNER in our P.C. Richard & Son Theater is incredible all by itself," said Eric Wellman, Program Director, Q104.3. "To give them the experience of hearing FOREIGNER classics including songs from '4', one of the defining albums in the history of rock, played live right before your eyes is amazing! Six times platinum? Is that all? I can't wait!"

This summer Razor & Tie will release a FOREIGNER live DVD featuring the band's greatest hits filmed in Chicago in March. Razor & Tie will also release a new studio album of FOREIGNER hits, including classics such as "Hot Blooded", "Cold As Ice", "Double Vision", "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and "I Want to Know What Love Is", to name a few. The live DVD performance will be featured in a PBS TV national broadcast in the summer. More details of this exciting event will follow.

"We are very excited to be working with one of the most successful bands in rock history," said Cliff Chenfeld, co-owner of Razor & Tie. "Mick Jones and FOREIGNER are legends and continue to perform and record at a remarkably high level. We are honored to partner with them."

For the first time in over 10 years, FOREIGNER and JOURNEY will hit the road on a national tour. The tour features special guests NIGHT RANGER, and tickets are now on sale through online, phone and physical retail outlets, including select Walmart Ticketmaster locations across the country.

FOREIGNER's Mick Jones says, "This will be one of the main events of the summer. Bands who represent the magic era in classic rock together for the first time in ten years. Get ready to rock!" JOURNEY's Neal Schon adds: "We haven't toured with FOREIGNER for over 10 years, so we're really looking forward to this run."
