Tour Details

The Styx & Foreigner Renegades & Juke Box Heroes joint headlining tour, led by tour managers Tracey Wiedeman (Styx) and Melissa King (Foreigner), is a delight for those who grew up with the music from these multi-platinum hit-makers from the 1970s and ‘80s, and there’s a new generation of fans who love their music just as much. These iconic road warriors are also offering a tour companion album that shares its name with the 2024 tour, which wraps up this month.

Editor’s Note: This posting, which originally included crew and gear from the Styx side of this co-headlining tour, has been supplemented with additional crew and gear supporting Foreigner.
