Foreigner has announced more dates for their farewell tour and this time it’s news of a 2024 co-headlining run with Styx. The “Renegades & Juke Box Heroes” tour features dozens of summer dates, along with special guest John Waite.

Citi is the official presale credit card of the U.S. “Renegades & Juke Box Heroes” tour dates. As such, Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase pre-sale tickets beginning Dec. 4 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets for the general public go on sale Dec. 8 here.

When Foreigner originally announced their farewell tour, leader and founder, Mick Jones said, “Many years ago, I wrote a song called ‘Feels Like The First Time’ and today we are launching one last worldwide tour. We will be presenting a show that I know will have the same enthusiasm as our very first appearances. While I’m sure our fans will have mixed feelings about the end of the road for the band, I know our shows are going to delight audiences everywhere.”

Of the 2024 tour, Styx founding guitarist James “JY” Young said, “We’re very excited to be sharing the concert stage with Foreigner and John Waite. We have previously toured with Foreigner and both bands… had a great time doing it. Looking forward to seeing everybody this summer!”

Foreigner’s lead singer, Kelly Hansen, added, “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.”

And as 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!”

Foreigner scored such 1970s classic rock favorites as “I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Juke Box Hero,” “Urgent,” and more. They commenced their farewell tour on July 6, 2023. On Aug. 28, Foreigner announced a two-part residency in 2024 at The Venetian in Las Vegas.

Jones continues to be joined by lead singer Kelly Hansen, bassist Jeff Pilson, Michael Bluestein on keyboards; guitarist Bruce Watson; Chris Frazier on drums, and guitarist Luis Maldonado.

With ten multi-platinum albums, Foreigner’s album sales now exceeding 80 million thanks to such rock and roll’s most enduring anthems that also include “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” “Head Games,” “Say You Will,” “Dirty White Boy,” and “Long, Long Way From Home.”

Styx’s lineup features James “JY” Young (lead vocals, guitars), Tommy Shaw (lead vocals, guitars), Chuck Panozzo (bass, vocals), Todd Sucherman (drums, percussion), Lawrence Gowan (lead vocals, keyboards) and Ricky Phillips (bass, guitar, vocals), and Will Evankovich (mandolin, guitars). They earned four triple platinum albums in a row: The Grand Illusion (1977), Pieces of Eight (1978), Cornerstone (1979) and Paradise Theatre (1981). Their hits include such favorites as “Lady” and “Come Sail Away.”

John Waite has a catalog of hits from his 40-year career as a solo artist, and with The Babys and Bad English. Those hits include the worldwide hit “Missing You,” plus The Babys’ “Isn’t It Time” and Bad English’s “When I See You Smile.”
