The first act to record four consecutive triple platinum albums, Styx got its start in Chicago in the early 1970s and had its first hit single with “Lady,” which reached No. 6 on the charts. During the second half of the decade, the group produced numerous hits including “Come Sail Away,” “Renegade,” “Blue Collar Man” and “Fooling Yourself.” Its Paradise Theater album, released in 1980, became the band’s biggest hit, selling more than three million copies in a three-year period. Today the group – Tommy Shaw, James “JY” Young, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman and Ricky Phillips – continues to tour across North America, performing music from four decades.

The multi-platinum selling, chart-topping Foreigner has been delighting audiences from coast to coast since its debut in 1976. Over the years, the group has produced 16 Top 30 hits, including nine that made the Top 10 on the charts. Among its biggest singles are the smash “I Want to Know What Love Is,” which topped the charts in 1984, as well as “Waiting For a Girl Like You,” “Double Vision,” “Hot Blooded,” “Feels Like the First Time,” “Urgent” and “I Don’t Want to Live Without You.” In 2012, three of the band’s songs – “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Waiting For a Girl Like You” –  were included in the blockbuster movie Rock of Ages.

The Styx and Foreigner show is sponsored by Edwards Business Systems and media sponsor 99.9 The Hawk. The 30th edition of Musikfest, set for Aug. 2-11, will feature more than 500 musical performances on 14 stages throughout Bethlehem, as well as 60 food vendors, 45 artisans and more.
