Lou Gramm announces 2026 solo album Released and world tour dates
Lou Gramm, the iconic voice of Foreigner, will release a new solo album in 2026. Titled Released, the record arrives on March 27, marking his first major solo project in years. German fans are particularly excited, as the singer has also announced a world tour with multiple stops across the country.
The album Released features ten tracks, including collaborations with musicians like Vivian Campbell of Def Leppard. Gramm has described the songs as deeply personal, calling them 'cathartic' after years of work. One standout track, Young Love, is already generating buzz as a potential hit.
Fans can expect the album on CD via HNE Recordings and on vinyl through Friday Music. Alongside new material, Gramm's tour will showcase reimagined versions of Foreigner's classic hits. This blend of old and new has heightened anticipation among long-time listeners. The 2026 tour includes eight confirmed German dates: Bochum (March 27), Jena (March 29), Geiselwind (March 31), Augsburg (April 1), Munich (April 5), Lindau (April 6), Saarbrücken (April 8), and Hamburg (April 14). A Swiss show in Bern (April 7) is also scheduled. Additionally, Gramm will make guest appearances on Foreigner's J.H.R. Tour, giving fans a preview of the new songs live.
The release of Released and the accompanying tour will bring Lou Gramm back to the spotlight in 2026. With a mix of fresh tracks and reworked Foreigner anthems, the project promises to be a major event for rock fans. German audiences, in particular, will have multiple opportunities to experience the music live across the country.
