On 7 August 2026, the Historic Lavenham 'Big Top' Theatre in Colchester will play host to A Foreigners Journey, a captivating live show that pays homage to the legendary rock bands Foreigner and Journey. These iconic bands have been a staple of the music scene for decades, and their anthemic hits continue to endure in the hearts of fans worldwide. The concert promises to be a nostalgic and energetic celebration of their enduring musical appeal, with a setlist featuring some of their most beloved tracks. The 'Big Top' Theatre's intimate setting provides an ideal backdrop for this unique event, allowing fans to experience the music up close and personal. The result is an immersive and unforgettable night of classic rock that is not to be missed. With A Foreigners Journey, fans can relive the magic of these iconic bands and experience the raw energy of a live rock concert.
Legendary bands Foreigner and Journey are giants of the AOR (Adult Orientated Rock) and Classic Rock genres, attracting huge audiences as live acts since forming in the 1970’s. The two bands have achieved massive commercial and critical success, and both sold in excess of 80 million albums, with their supreme musical quality ensuring that they’ve never been victims of trends or passing fashions, and even their earliest hits are still being played on radio shows worldwide every day.
Sadly for those in the UK, their shows over here have been few and far between, and most fans of their music have not experienced the thrill of hearing it played live.
Thankfully, however, the next best thing is here in the shape of the award-winning band A FOREIGNERS JOURNEY.
A Foreigners Journey proudly won both the “UK’s Number 1 Tribute to Foreigner” and the “UK’s Number 1 Tribute to Journey” awards at the National Tribute Music Awards.
Their talent has also been acknowledged by Jeff Pilson, bass player of Foreigner, who said “Check out this amazing band, they rock!”
Featuring the incredible vocals and stage presence of Adam J Oades, and cherry picking the very best and most iconic songs from each of the two bands, to create a carefully balanced set-list, including bonafide rock classics such as the massive anthem Don’t Stop Believin’, Cold As Ice, Separate Ways, Juke Box Hero, Feels Like The First Time, to gentler power ballads like the hits I Want To Know What Love Is, Faithfully, Waiting For A Girl Like You, Open Arms and many more, A Foreigners Journey take things far beyond a mere ‘tribute act’ and turn their show into a living, breathing and powerful experience.
It is guaranteed to be an evening to remember and a real treat for all those who love quality, commercial rock, performed with passion.
This show is reserved seating and Picnic Area. Reserved Seating is fully undercover and will be allocated on the night.
Picnic Area: Located to the outside of the structure on the grass to the left. This has a good view of the stage and show sound. You are allowed to bring food, pop-up chairs and small tables but not alcohol. These tickets can only be booked through We Love Concerts Box Office.
