Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner co-headline the Double Trouble Tour at Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Sunday, August 23, 2026 at 6:00 PM. Two of classic rock’s most enduring names — sharing one stage at one of the best amphitheaters in the Northeast. The Capital Region has seen a lot of legendary double bills at SPAC, and this one belongs on the list.
About the Show
There’s no way around it — these two bands have a combined catalog that could fill an entire weekend. Lynyrd Skynyrd brings “Free Bird,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Simple Man,” “Tuesday’s Gone” — songs that are woven into the DNA of American rock music. Foreigner matches them hit for hit with “Hot Blooded,” “Juke Box Hero,” “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Cold as Ice,” and a run of arena anthems that dominated rock radio through the late ’70s and ’80s.
The Double Trouble Tour pairs these two acts as co-headliners, which means you’re getting full sets from both — not an abbreviated festival slot. That’s a lot of classic rock for one evening, and the amphitheater format gives it room to breathe.

The Venue
SPAC in Saratoga Spa State Park is where classic rock sounds best in Upstate NY. The amphitheater’s natural setting, the pine-surrounded lawn, the early-evening summer light — it all works for a show like this. Note the 6:00 PM start time — earlier than most SPAC shows, which makes sense for a double-headliner bill. The lawn is iconic and always a good time for classic rock crowds. Get there early, claim your spot, and settle in. Full SPAC venue guide here.
