FOREIGNER FEEL RIGHT AT HOME

THEY want to know what love is and they want the Gold Coast to show them.

Supercars fans are hot blooded enough for the iconic rock band Foreigner to want to rock the Gold Coast.

The band behind some of the biggest hits of the 1970s and 1980s is set to perform at the GC600 on October 20 with +LIVE+ and Sheppard at the Broadwater Parklands.

Foreigner’s bass player Jeff Pilson told the Bulletin

yesterday the audience could expect an energetic performance.

“There is a feeling of connection (with the audience), it is a bit like a high,” said Pilson, who has been with the band since 2004.

Founded in 1976, Foreigner has produced 16 top 40 hits in the US, including I Want to Know What Love Is, Waiting for a Girl Like You, Juke Box Hero, Urgent, Cold as Ice and Hot Blooded.

The Gold Coast show comes 40 years after Foreigner first toured Australia.

Pilson said he was enjoying his time down under.

“It is great, I love Australia ... This is one part of the world I could imagine living.”
