The album release commemorates a year of celebrations marking FOREIGNER’s 50th anniversary. In the Eye of the Storm is the official soundtrack to the band’s landmark 50th anniversary concert film captured at Ellis Island and Brooklyn’s DUMBO House.
The accompanying first single/video for “Feels Like The First Time,” which includes footage from the 50th anniversary concert film, debuted April 17. The newly recorded live performances, such as “I Want To Know What Love Is,” celebrate five decades of FOREIGNER vocal excellence, featuring performances from three generations of the band’s legendary frontmen – original voice Lou Gramm, twenty-year veteran vocalist Kelly Hansen, and current lead singer Luis Maldonado. Together, the tracks capture the evolution of the band’s sound across fifty years while honoring the voices and songs that define one of rock’s most enduring catalogs.
Filmed on a closed set in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, the Ellis Island concert forms the centerpiece of the upcoming feature film, produced by Vertigo Live Productions, which will arrive in theatres worldwide in Summer 2026. The historic performance almost never happened. As the band prepared to take the stage, torrential rain, thunder and lightning rolled across New York Harbor, threatening to halt the production entirely. The band pushed forward, turning a near-cancellation into one of the most electrifying performances of their 50-year career.
Also to coincide with the single release, the band will launch special limited-edition anniversary merchandise collections, celebrating fifty years of one of rock’s most iconic catalogs. In celebration of the release, FOREIGNER will also launch a merchandise collection and upcoming film can be found at: www.vertigo.live, shop.vertigo.live/collections/foreigner and www.foreigneronline.com.

Responsible for some of rock and roll’s most enduring anthems including “Juke Box Hero,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” “Feels Like The First Time,” “Urgent,” “Head Games,” “Say You Will,” “Dirty White Boy,” “Long, Long Way From Home” and the worldwide #1 hit and member of Spotify’s exclusive Billions Club, “I Want To Know What Love Is,” Rock & Roll Hall of Famers FOREIGNER still rock the charts almost 50 years into the game with massive airplay and continued Billboard album chart success. Audio and video streams of FOREIGNER’s hits are approaching 20 million per week.
