Foreigner Brings Its Classic Hits To Tilles Center Next Week

GREENVALE, NY — Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Foreigner will hit the stage for one night only at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at Long Island University.

Led by original frontman Lou Gramm, Foreigner will give fans a special acoustic performance of their biggest hits.

The show closes with "I Want to Know What Love Is" backed by the Uniondale High School choir. The LIU Marching Band will open the Friday, Sept. 5 concert.

The benefit concert will commemorate Foreigner’s groundbreaking collaboration with the Tilles Center and Long Island University’s Post Theatre Company to develop and stage a musical ("Feels Like the First Time") based on Foreigner’s music.

The musical will premiere in April and provide an opportunity for LIU students to be involved on-stage and behind-the-scenes in creating a new musical production.

Foreigner, which formed a half-century ago, has signature tunes such as "Cold as Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Jukebox Hero", "Urgent" and "I Want to Know What Love Is."

Tickets are available on the Tilles Center's website.
