COLUMBUS, Ohio — Foreigner is coming to Columbus next year.

The classic rock band is performing its “Rock & Roll Hal of Fame Celebration” on July 24, 2025. This is the first act announced for the 2025 Ohio State Fair.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. and it includes admission to the Ohio State Fair.

The state fair will take place from July 23 to Aug. 3 next year.

Foreigner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The English-American rockers — with hits like “Cold as Ice,” and “Waiting for a Girl Like You” — topped the charts in the 1970s and ‘80s but never made it into the Hall — much less a ballot — until last year, despite being eligible for more than 20 years.
