Journey, Foreigner And Night Ranger Set For Massive 2011 Tour
Journey, Foreigner and Night Ranger are preparing one hell of an '80s flashback for concert goers as the three bands join together for a massive package tour that will light up outdoor sheds and arenas this summer.
Both Journey and Night Ranger will come armed with new music, although, rest assured, their setlists will focus largely on the hits. Journey fired the first shot with the release of 'Eclipse,' their second release with vocalist Arnel Pineda at the helm, which landed exclusively at Wal-Mart stores on Tuesday.
Night Ranger will be touring behind the scheduled June 21 release of 'Somewhere in California,' a new album from the veteran hard rock quintet that marks their return to what they're calling the “classic Night Ranger sound.” The album, which features first single 'Growing Up in California,' is a satisfying return to form for the group after the harder-edged detour of their 2008 album, 'Hole in the Sun.'
Founding member Mick Jones has successfully rebuilt Foreigner over the past few years in the absence of Lou Gramm, turbo-charging the group with a lineup of new recruits. The band now includes veteran vocalist Kelly Hansen, who's a dead ringer vocally on the Gramm material, and former Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson. The revitalized Foreigner followed up stacks of sold out shows in 2009 with 'Can't Slow Down,' their first album of all-new material in several years.
All three bands bring an incredible legacy of hits to the stage that will make for a memorable evening. Check out the following list of tour dates below.
