LIGHTS ON. SHOWTIME.

Saracen Casino Resort is proud to announce Lou Gramm and John Waite will perform at the Saracen Event Center on Friday, August 28, 2026 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets for the show start at $49 plus applicable fees and can be purchased online at Ticketmaster beginning Friday, May 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.

Lou Gramm rose from working-class roots in Rochester, New York, to become one of rock’s most distinctive voices and songwriters. As lead singer and co-writer for Foreigner, he helped the band sell more than 80 million albums worldwide and score over twenty Top 40 hits, including “Cold As Ice,” “Juke Box Hero,” “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Urgent,” and “Midnight Blue.” Gramm is a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and, alongside Mick Jones, a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee.

Gramm’s solo work has been equally celebrated. His latest album, Released (2026), features ten hard-rocking songs originally written with former Black Sheep bandmate Bruce Turgon in the 1980s, recently completed with contributions from Tony Franklin, Vivian Campbell, and longtime collaborators including his brother Ben Gramm. Today, Gramm continues to tour with his own band while making occasional appearances with Foreigner, celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary and cementing his place as one of rock’s most enduring voices.

John Waite will be performing his catalogue of hits from his 40 year career as a solo artist, with The Baby’s and Bad English. John Waite’s catalogue of hits features some of the most loved songs of the 80s and 90s – the #1 Worldwide hit ‘Missing You’, The Baby’s ‘Isn’t It Time’ and Bad English ‘When I See You Smile’ rank amongst some of his biggest international hits and are still heard on radio today. Others include ‘Tears’, ‘Change’ and ‘These Times Are Hard For Lovers’. ‘Every Step Of The Way’ and ‘If Anybody Had A Heart’ appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 Demi Moore film About Last Night. ‘Deal for Life’, penned by Martin Page and Bernie Taupin, was featured in the Days Of Thunder soundtrack. As a solo artist and as the lead singer of The Baby’s and Bad English, John Waite was a fixture of album-oriented rock radio stations during the ’70s and ’80s. John Waite had a talent for power ballads and driving arena rock, occasionally touching on new wave-styled power pop as well.
