One of the most enduring and successful rock bands of all time is hanging it up after almost 50 years.

Foreigner has tapped the St. Joseph's Health Amphitheater at Lakeview in Syracuse as one of three Upstate New York stops in 2023. The Syracuse show is scheduled for Saturday, September 2nd.

In addition to Syracuse, Foreigner will also play the Darien Lake Amphitheater on Friday, July 28th and SPAC in Saratoga Springs on August 1st.

Foreigner will be joined by Loverboy on all three shows.

Tickets go on sale Friday, November 18th through Live Nation. 

The lineup for the farewell tour consists of original guitarist Mick Jones and lead vocalist Kelly Hansen. It remains to be seen if original vocalist Lou Gramm -- who lives near Rochester -- will make any appearances with the band.

Foreigner was all over the radio in the '70s and '80s with such mega hits as "Hot Blooded," "Double Vision," "Juke Box Hero," "Urgent," and countless others.
