‘Jukebox Hero’ hit-makers postpone Visalia show. Tickets will be honored in April
UPDATE:
Foreigner won’t be playing at the Visalia Convention Center as scheduled Monday night, Jan. 27.
The classic rock band postponed the concert by doctor’s order.
“I had been dealing with a lingering flu & it took a turn & went right to my throat. If there was any possible way to do the show, I would have absolutely been there,” the band’s singer Kelly Hansen said in a statement released by promoters.
The concert is rescheduled for April 20. All tickets will be honored on the new date. Refunds are available by request at point of purchase during regular business hours.
ORIGINAL STORY:
For those looking to wax nostalgic on 1980s radio rock, the Visalia Convention Center has added Foreigner as the first band in its 2020 calendar lineup.
The band — whose list of karaoke-worthy tunes includes “Hot Blooded,” “Cold as Ice” and “Jukebox Hero” along with “Dirty White Boy” and “I Want to Know What Love Is” — performs Jan. 27.
Tickets run $47.50 to $99.50 and are available at www.visitvisalia.com or at 559-713-4040.
Special VIP packages start at $249.
The band was last in Visalia in 2017, playing to a sold-out crowd at the Fox Theatre.
“What better way to kick off 2020 than with one of the best-selling artists of all time?,” Nellie Freeborn, executive director of Visit Visalia, said in a news release announcing the show.
