Legendary rock band Foreigner will headline the Grand Prix of Long Beach‘s Saturday night concert this year, bringing an iconic act to the stage for the 50th anniversary of the city’s biggest annual event.
The concert will take place in the Terrace Theater Plaza at 6:30 p.m. April 12 and is free to all race ticket holders. The Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, which announced Foreigner as the headliner this week, said the performance will be an incredible bonus for race fans during a thrilling weekend, which will take place from April 11 to 13.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Foreigner to the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach for our 50th anniversary,” Jim Michaelian, president and CEO of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, said in a press release. “Their music has defined generations, and their performance will bring an electrifying energy to our Saturday night festivities. It’s the perfect way to celebrate our 50 years of racing here in Long Beach.”
Foreigner will bring back the classic rock performance that longtime fans of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach know and love. Last year, officials decided to bring something new to the lineup of concerts with country music. Stars such as Eddie Montgomery, Gretchen Wilson, David Lee Murphy and the band Sixwire performed for a crowd of both racing and country fans.

Known for their chart-topping hits such as “I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Cold As Ice,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Hot Blooded,” Foreigner has captivated audiences around the world with their powerful performances and timeless music, according to a press release.
