MelodicRock.com praised the album, stating: “Eclipse is dark and heavy, yet melodic. Adventurous, yet familiar. Moody, yet uplifting. Simply bloody amazing… “.
During their Rockhal concert fans can expect to hear new songs from “Eclipse” as well as classics such as “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Any Way You Want It,” “Faithfully,” “Lights,” “Separate Ways,” “Wheel In The Sky” and many more. 2011 also marks the 30th anniversary of JOURNEY’s classic anthem “Don’t Stop Believin”. The song reached another level of stratospheric success in 2009, when it was covered by the cast of the wildly successful series “Glee” and became the best-selling song from the show. Three decades after the track’s release it has reached a new class of young fans to become a huge anthem for a whole new generation. Therefor multiple generations are welcoming this legendary band in 2011, as JOURNEY continues to bring their signature sound of classic hits and new favorites across Luxembourg and around the world.

FOREIGNERS’s 2010 United In Rock tour of the USA captivated audiences and established the group in its rightful place as one of the country’s top touring attractions. Their latest multi-disc release, ‘Can’t Slow Down’, broke many Classic Rock sales records and spawned two Top 20 singles on US radio. ‘Can’t Slow Down’ was the band’s first album of new songs in more than 15 years. Mick Jones, the band’s founder and legendary songwriter/guitarist, produced the new album with Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith and Buckcherry). It jumped into the Billboard Top 200 in the Top 30 on its first week of release and it is the first full length album to feature Foreigner’s new, touring lineup: Mick Jones on lead guitar, singer Kelly Hansen, bassist Jeff Pilson, guitarist Tom Gimbel, keyboardist Michael Bluestein and drummer Jason Sutter.
FOREIGNER’s depth of broadcast-friendly hits ensures the band’s constant presence in the Top 15 most played artists on US Classic Rock radio. The band gets more airplay at this important format than Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Bruce Springsteen, all but a handful of current touring artists.
