Foreigner will release the 50th anniversary edition of Head Games on 30 October 2026, giving the band’s catalogue campaign a new archival focus. The set arrives as a super deluxe package with a newly remixed album and unreleased recordings.
Head Games adds unreleased live material and new mixes
The official press page places the release on 30 October, while Rhino’s release announcement describes the set as a newly remixed and remastered edition. Rhino identifies the main package as 3CD and Blu-ray. It combines the original ten-track album with outtakes and alternate versions, a previously unreleased concert from the Head Games tour and Dolby Atmos audio.
A standalone 1LP black-vinyl edition extends the physical offer, while Dolby Atmos versions cover both the complete super deluxe audio collection and the remixed studio album. A Digital Super Deluxe Edition is also listed for streaming and download, so the release spans physical, immersive and digital formats.
Foreigner’s catalogue gives the anniversary set its frame
Foreigner are a British-American rock band associated with New York and London, built around founder Mick Jones. Their catalogue joins arena-rock staples such as Feels Like the First Time, Cold As Ice, Urgent, Juke Box Hero and Waiting for a Girl Like You with a sequence of studio and live releases.
That history makes Head Games a natural centre for the anniversary campaign: the new edition preserves the original album while adding session material and a complete concert. The set therefore connects the band’s catalogue identity with the six-member line-up named in the release materials.
Rhino lists Luis Carlos Maldonado on vocals, Jeff Pilson on bass, Michael Bluestein on keyboards, Bruce Watson on lead guitar, Chris Frazier on drums and John Roth on guitar. The release is overseen by bassist Jeff Pilson and longtime production collaborator Wyn Davis.
Head Games revisits the album through a full concert
An archival release with a new stereo mix and a concert recording gives the package two distinct functions. It revisits the album itself and broadens the picture with alternate takes, outtakes and material that had not previously appeared in the catalogue.
The track listing places the concert on a separate disc and the studio remix on the first disc, while the Blu-ray supplies the Atmos mix. Among the named recordings are Dirty White Boy, Cold As Ice, Feels Like the First Time and Hot Blooded.
