WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Legendary rock band Foreigner will be heading to West Springfield, Mass. next fall to play at The Big E, fair organizers announced Tuesday.
The "Hot Blooded" band will play at The Big E Arena on Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025, at 7:30 p.m.
The announcement appears "Urgent," as tickets go on sale this Friday, Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. on TheBigE.com, not even a month after the fair wrapped up its 17-day exposition.
The Foreigner lineup includes the group's founder, Mick Jones, lead singer Kelly Hansen, along with Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson. Michael Bluestein is on keyboards, Chris Frazier on drums, as well as guitarists Luis Carlos Maldonado and Bruce Watson.
Foreigner is the only band announced so far for the 2025 Big E Arena lineup.
Foreigner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall this year and is also starting a celebration tour that includes a residency at The Venetian in Las Vegas this fall.
Same-day admission onto the fairgrounds is included in a ticket to a Big E Arena concert.
The Big E will welcome fairgoers from Sept. 12-28, 2025 in West Springfield, Mass.
