Legendary rock band Foreigner, a member of the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class, will be rocking The Wharf stage live in Orange Beach with 15 student musicians at its Friday, Aug. 16, concert, Orange Beach City Schools announced Thursday.

Selected students put their musical talents on display by submitting audition videos, which Orange Beach says showcased its schools' dedication to nurturing artistic abilities. Foreigner, who will also be joined by Styx for this farewell tour performance, is giving a $500 donation to the Orange Beach Middle-High School Theater Department to acknowledge the accomplishments of these aspiring musicians.

"We are immensely proud of our students for their outstanding achievement," Orange Beach Middle-High School Principal Chris Shaw said. "This opportunity to perform alongside Foreigner is a testament to their hard work, dedication and exceptional talent. We are excited to see them shine on stage and are grateful for the support of Foreigner in providing this unforgettable experience."

In 1976, Mick Jones formed the British-American group alongside Ian McDonald in New York City, recruiting lead singer and co-writer Lou Gramm. Foreigner is responsible for rock hits such as "I Want to Know What Love Is" (1984), "Juke Box Hero" (1981), "Cold as Ice" (1977), "Hot Blooded" (1978), "Feels Like the First Time" (1977) and "Urgent" (1981), among others. Jones, the 79-year-old icon who opened up about his battle with Parkinson's disease in February, recently commented on the band becoming a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee after decades of waiting to be immortalized.

“I think it means more to me now than perhaps 20 years ago,” Jones told Billboard via email. “I’ve had a great career, and this is like the whipped cream and cherry on top. It’s something I will savor over the years. It’s a great honor to be included amongst all these great artists that have been inducted over the years."
