Foreigner and Lynyrd Skynyrd have announced a co-headline US tour for the summer of 2016. The run of 19 Double Trouble Double Vision shows, which kicks off on July 23 at the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre Atlanta, GA and concludes at the Walmart AMP in Rogers, AR, on August 29, is a rare double-header featuring two bands whose touring lineups contain no original members.

"The energy the band has felt knowing we'll be touring with Skynyrd this coming summer has been electric!" says Foreigner's Jeff Pilson, who joined the band in 2004. "Two bands with plenty of iconic songs, duelling guitars, double trouble and double vision are gonna set each and every stage on fire! No question this will be the go-to event of the summer!"

"I'm excited to share the stage with Foreigner and hear all their amazing hits!" adds Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Johnny Van Zant, a member of the southern rock titans since 1987. "I've always been a fan, and I believe the audience will love this tour. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner together – it doesn't get much better than that. See y'all in 2026!"

The two artist pre-sales begin on Tuesday, November 18, at noon local time, while the general sale kicks off Friday, November 21. Support at all shows comes from the southern and classic rock covers band Six Gun Sally. Full dates below.
