The two bands have achieved massive commercial and critical success and both sold in excess of 80 million albums, their supreme musical quality meaning that they've never been victims of trends or passing fashions. Sadly for those in the UK, their shows over here have been few and far between, Thankfully the next best thing is here: a Foreigner's Journey! The band have toured throughout the UK and Europe for the last 6 years and headlined a number of festivals, safely establishing themselves as one of the most respected and know tribute shows around. Cherry picking the very best songs from each of the two bands, bonafide rock classics such as (the massive) 'Don't Stop Believing', 'Separate Ways', 'Cold As Ice', 'Juke Box Hero' Waiting For A Girl Like You and 'I Want To Know What Love Is.

Nigel Havers

Nigel Havers

22 Mar 2026 - 26 Oct 2026

Join me, a stage, and a lifetime of gloriously ridiculous stories to share with you. You’ll get the full Havers experience: charm, wit, and absolutely no running in slow motion. I’ll be taking you on a thoroughly entertaining trot through five decades in showbiz. From my early days as a fresh-faced drama school hopeful, to the highs and lows of a career that’s seen me in everything from Chariots of Fire and Empire of the Sun to Don’t Wait Up and some rather marvellous West End plays – and more than my fair share of Palladium Pantos. Of course, there’ll be behind-the-scenes gossip, tales of triumph (and disaster), moments of sheer madness, and a fair bit of talking bllcks. And just when you think you’ve got me figured out, I might surprise you. Let’s just say there’s a taste of my very first acting role and a little showcase of one of my off-stage talents – I’ll leave you guessing. So, come along for a night of laughter, nostalgia, and, dare I say, charm. It’s going to be a lot of fun – I promise.
