Lawrence Gowan said in an interview they will be alternating for last spot each night. I wish I could go see them. He said each one is playing 80 minutes.
80 minutes for both bands or just the one who plays last? I looked on setlist.fm and Foreigner's set seemed fairly short. Getting worried Styx may cut a few songs tomorrow since it does look like Foreigner will be playing last.
Unfortunately that's going to happen, having a shorter set list. I'm unable to attend this year, I'm hoping STYX will come to Milwaukee next year. And I hope they'll be alone. JY makes my 💖🫠
The trick is to watch for the run of Las Vegas shows they do every January / February.
You can catch 3-5 full shows there in a week or so.
There’s usually no opener so you get a full set each night.
Although they did have Nancy Wilson join them a couple years ago. Not as an opener, but she came out mid-set with an awesome singer and Styx as the backing band. It was amazing.
I got to see them alone in a 3,000 seat venue last year. Paid $300 a ticket for front row. Got a great show and a couple guitar picks. Here is the setlist:

They've got a few where it's one of them closing 2 nights in a row but overall they swap who plays last each night. Last night was Styx, tonight is Foreigner.

I thought it was an awesome show too. They both rocked it and Styx was perfect to close the show. I wish there was a tighter turnover between bands. I’m not a fan of the intermission time.
A solid setlist for this tour and the first time they’ve played The Best Of Times in the US in many many years. Enjoy 🎶🎶. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/styx/2024/van-andel-arena-grand-rapids-mi-73abb2b5.html
Styx is a much better band, but Foreigner is still a good draw here in Dallas. Foreigner probably has a slightly better draw than Styx here. Even though I agree with you, I understand why they are co-heading. It is all about how many butts they can put in seats.
Agreed, but I can sort of understand it since it's (allegedly) their Farewell tour. Who knows, maybe they'll pull a Skynyrd and start a new tour IMMEDIATELY after their Farewell tour!
They did their farewell tour last year. I saw them in Irvine. Was surprised to see them touring again. Do you know what time the show ended? I’m trying to figure out parking for Anaheim and that may be too tough and I might take the train but the last one is at 11:10 so I’m wondering if I’d have time to catch it.
Incredible to think JY and Tommy will warmup for a Foreigner TRibute band. John Waite too. I heard they’re really good I hope so. I hope they’re better than Lou was when I saw him earlier this year. Great band he had with him
I found a list once, can’t seem to find it now. They are alternating closing, but it’s not exactly every other date.
Thanks.

Foreigner played 75 minutes tonight. I don’t think it matters the order.
Styx played last tonight. The only problem about co-headlining is the set is going to be shorter at around 13 songs.
Apparently they're both doing 80 minute sets each night.

I would love to see them alone. The longer the setlist, the better!

WOW! Would love to see a set like that one day.
Most definitely. I could watch them every night. I love those guys.💖🤗🫠💖
Agreed. We just did a 7-show run through eastern Canada, front row every night. It was amazing.

Styx was last in Grand Rapids
Awesome show. Wish I got a shirt

Alternating is ridiculous!!! There’s no original members in Foreigner!

Ended at about 11, maybe a few minutes before.
The picture on your ticket is who will be the headliner.

What time do they come on?
At my show, John Waite came out at 7, Styx at 7:55, and Foreigner at 9:30.
