Foreigner’s catalog has outlasted most of what surrounded it in the late ’70s and ’80s, and the “Celebrating Fifty Years” tour is the band making the full argument. Mick Jones started the group in 1976, and the catalog he built, ten multi-platinum albums’ worth, has moved more than 80 million copies worldwide, approaching 20 million weekly streams today. The San Antonio stop falls on Tuesday, October 13, at the Majestic Theatre, in the middle of the fall theater leg, and there is real context worth knowing about who’s carrying that material.
About the Show
Jones, the group’s founder and primary songwriter, has Parkinson’s disease and does not perform live. Lou Gramm, the original frontman, appeared as a special guest on the early North American dates in spring 2026 — Florida shows in April — before announcing plans to retire from performing; he will not be on the fall run. Lead vocals on October 13 go to Luis Maldonado, who joined the band in late 2025 after years touring with Train. The lineup behind him is experienced: Jeff Pilson on bass, widely known for his work with Dokken; Michael Bluestein on keyboards, who has performed with Stevie Nicks and studied at Berklee College of Music; guitarists Bruce Watson (session credits include B.B. King and Rod Stewart) and John Roth; and drummer Chris Frazier. The band has put in serious road time through 2026: a spring orchestral residency at the Venetian in Las Vegas, a 26-date European run in June and July, and the “Double Trouble Double Vision” co-headline amphitheater tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd across the summer. The fall theater leg kicked off August 11 in Nashville. Several anniversary projects have rolled out alongside the touring: a live album, “In The Eye of the Storm,” described as reuniting the band’s voices; a concert documentary of the same name filmed on Ellis Island, releasing in July 2026; and “Feels Like The First Time – The Foreigner Musical,” directed by Adam Pascal, which premiered in April.
Venue & Logistics
The Majestic Theatre is a historic theater in downtown San Antonio, close to the River Walk and the Alamo, with a 2,264-person capacity that puts this visit on a considerably more intimate scale than the amphitheater dates the band was playing through the summer. Doors open approximately one hour before the 8:00 p.m. show.
