Dartmouth’s Geordie Brown to join Foreigner for 2025 Canadian tour

Dartmouth singer-actor Geordie Brown will join the multi-platinum rock band Foreigner on a Canadian tour this fall, including a stop at Halifax’s Scotiabank Centre on October 24, 2025. Brown will replace frontman Kelly Hansen, who will not be part of the 13-date tour.

“I count myself so fortunate that they’re bringing me along on this next chapter with the musical and this Canadian tour,” says Brown in a media release. “Right now, I’m most looking forward to our Halifax show, for my hometown crowd”.

This is not Brown’s first foray into the music of Foreigner as he originated the lead role in the stage musical Juke Box Hero The Musical, a coming-of-age story featuring the music of Foreigner, in a 2018 workshop production before beginning a sold-out run at Toronto’s Ed Mirvish Theatre in 2019. That same year, Brown joined the band on the final night of its Cold As Ice tour in Halifax to perform Hot Blooded alongside Hansen.

This tour will serve as a prelude to the relaunch of the stage musical, which is expected to start production in 2026.

“I was most impressed by Geordie’s performances of Juke Box Hero The Musical in Canada,” says Foreigner’s leader and founder, Mick Jones. “He is not only a consummate vocalist but a verified Broadway actor to boot. We look forward to welcoming him at our shows on Foreigner’s 2025 Canadian tour.”

Foreigner plays the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax on October 24, 2025. The concert will include support from Canadian rock band 54-40. Tickets for the show are now on sale at scotiabank-centre.com.
