Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Foreigner hit the ground running with a sold-out show at the acclaimed Yaamava Theater in Highland, CA on June 11, 2025. The 46-date tour continues through mid-October 2025. Tickets and full details are on ticketmaster.com and foreigneronline.com.
At the Yaamava show, FOREIGNER recorded an extra special version of their smash hit “I Want To Know What Love Is” with members of The Inland Master Chorale, which will be shown exclusively on this year’s KTLA telethon for Project Angel Food on June 28 (check local listings for info).
KTLA’s on-air personality Jacob Burch was on hand to present FOREIGNER with a brand-new RIAA certified gold plaque for their 2009 album CAN’T SLOW DOWN . The record was released on Rhino and contained two Top 20 radio hits, “In Pieces” and “When It Comes To Love.” FOREIGNER is one of only three heritage bands (including Eagles and Journey) to have been currently certified Gold for albums containing newly written and recorded songs.
Lead singer Kelly Hansen said, “What a stellar opportunity to help KTLA amplify the wonderful work of Project Angel Food. We are thrilled to be part of the telethon. The presentation of an official RIAA gold album for ‘Can’t Slow Down” makes this event even more special.”
Project Angel Food nourishes the health and spirit of individuals facing critical illnesses by preparing and delivering medically tailored meals with compassion and dignity. Since 1989, they have provided over 19 million meals across Los Angeles County and currently serve more than 1.5 million meals annually to 6,240 clients. During the Los Angeles fires, they delivered meals, hygiene kits, and water to seriously ill individuals throughout L.A. County and assisted hundreds of critically ill and vulnerable seniors in areas impacted by the fires with the help of thousands of volunteers. And now there is a new threat. Funding from the Ryan White CARE Act, intended to feed 547 people we serve living with HIV/AIDS, has been abruptly blocked by the current administration. Only 16% of the promised $1.3 million has been delivered, leaving a critical shortfall of $1,092,000 and threatening our ability to provide life-saving meals. Last year, they raised nearly $1 million. They know they can surpass $1.1 million and bridge this critical funding gap as we face rising inflation. Produce costs are up 19%, beef 11%, poultry 40%, eggs 33%, and gas prices are ticking up.

Founded in 1976, FOREIGNER‘s debut album produced the hits “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice” and “Long, Long Way From Home.” The album Double Vision followed, as did a string of hits including “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” Those songs helped give FOREIGNER‘s next album, 4, its impressive run at #1 on the Billboard chart. At the zenith of ‘80s sound, FOREIGNER‘s fifth album, AGENT PROVOCATEUR, gave the world the incredible #1 global hit,” I Want To Know What Love Is.” This musical milestone followed the record- breaking song “Waiting For A Girl Like You.”
