Kid Rock's 10th studio album, First Kiss, is due in February with a summer tour set to follow. Foreigner bassist Jeff Pilson recently said the group will hit the road with the Detroit artist as the support act. Rock also released the cover art and tracklist for the album as well, Ultimate Classic Rock noted.
Pilson echoed Rock's recent sentiments that live shows are the future of the music business.
"The future is a lot of touring," he said. "We're gonna go out with Kid Rock this summer, which will be really interesting. I think that's going to expose us to a different audience that I think is gonna be shocked at how much they enjoy us — which I always love doing. That's the best kind of tour to do."
Foreigner is currently promoting a new album, The Best of Foreigner 4 & More, which is a mix of classic tunes and live versions.
"We first started talking about this three years ago, when it was the 30th anniversary," he explained. "It just didn't happen for one reason or another at that point, but there was always kind of this feeling, like, 'Wow, that would be really cool to revisit that record with this band.' So it just kind of happened — it was our manager that really pushed for it. Once we started arranging the tunes and hearing what this band was doing to it, it just became a labor of love, and we had to do it."
Rock's First Kiss is due Feb. 24.
