Waffle House Legend Award winner Kid Rock will kick off his 24-city tour on April 6 at the Ford Center in Evansville, IN, making stops across the US in Nashville, Boston, Chicago, and more before wrapping up with two shows in Detroit where he holds records for most shows in a single season and highest ticket sales in the state of Michigan.
Foreigner’s Mick Jones said: “We are so looking forward to touring again with our good friend Kid Rock. Our 2015 tour across the US introduced Foreigner to a whole new audience and I will never forget the wonderful times we had with him on his ten show sold out run in Detroit. I remember so well standing side stage watching some of his electrifying performances. I wrote ‘Dirty White Boy’ as a tribute to Elvis, but it also serves as a tribute to Kid Rock. I look forward to dedicating that song to him every night during the tour.”
