Hit-making rock band Foreigner will perform at the 2025 Alaska State Fair.

The fair said Tuesday that the band would make a stop in Alaska next summer as part of its farewell tour.

The group, which charted massive hits like “Hot Blooded” and “Juke Box Hero” in the 1970s and ’80s, is scheduled to take the stage on Saturday, Aug. 30.

Foreigner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday, with stars like Kelly Clarkson joining members of the band onstage.

Other notable hits by the band include “Cold as Ice,” “Urgent” and “Feels Like the First Time.”

Tickets to the show go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at alaskastatefair.org.

The band joins Weird Al Yankovic as acts that are currently scheduled to play the fair next year.
