Foreigner w/Cheap Trick Believe it or not, one of the more common bios I come across on Tinder is the line: “I want to know what love is.” Instead of playing head games with potential matches or telling them, “I’ve been waiting for a Tinder match like you,” I suggest a date at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre where you can  ask that question in unison with 80s sweethearts, Foreigner. It’s one of the more fun, fan-friendly rock shows out there, with beloved classics like “Juke Box Hero,” “Cold As Ice,” and “I Want To Know What Love Is” all providing light-hearted moments you can bond over. Opening act Cheap Trick dominated the radio in the 70s with songs like “Dream Police” and “Surrender.” (MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, Tampa) INFO —LJH
