Two hit bands who have been entertaining generations with their rock music are making their way to the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla this fall.

Foreigner will be stopping at the Toyota Center in Kennewick as part of the Great Hits of Foreigner Tour.

They perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 22.

The band formed by British guitarist Mick Jones in 1976 had many hits, including I Want to Know What Love Is, Juke Box Hero and Feels Like The First Time.

The group announced in June an extension of its tour after COVID forced last year’s shutdown.

Tickets start at $37 and go up to $295 for front row seats and can be purchased at the Toyota Center box office from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or through Ticketmaster.
