About
Indie pop trio Foster the People came together in Los Angeles in 2009. The group is known for psychedelic, dance-orientated pop and rock which spans many genres. Their 2011 album Torches has sold over 321,000 copies and their single “Pumped Up Kicks” was the sixth-best-selling digital song in the same year, selling 3.84 million copies.
The band was formed by Mark Foster in 2009. He provides lead vocals and plays several instruments, including keyboards and guitar. His fellow band mates comprise Cubbie Finkton on bass and Mark Pontius on drums and percussion. Their first song “Pumped Up Kicks” was an internet success in 2011 and the group was offered a record deal. The band slowly began to build up a fan base by making appearances at small venues and appearing at several music festivals, including South by Southwest and at Coachella. They continued to perform and were booked for a month-long residency of concerts at the Echo night club in LA. By the time they came to perform for the third time, there were hundreds of people queuing to get in and the group were beginning to capture public attention.
Their single “Pumped Up Kicks” was released in 2011 and gained airplay on alternative radio stations, entering the Billboard Rock Songs Chart as well as the Alternative Songs Chart. In May of the same year, the track entered the Billboard Hot 100. Later that month, the group released the album Torches, which entered the Billboard 200 at No. 8. The band then embarked upon a sell-out tour in the US and Europe that lasted 10 months.
The band continued to build up a following, with ”Pumped Up Kicks” breaking into the mainstream top 40 and spending eight weeks at No. 3. Foster the People have scooped several awards for their music, including Top Rock Song for “Pumped up Kicks” at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. They have also been nominated numerous times, including two Grammy Award nominations for “Pumped Up Kicks” and Torches. At the awards ceremony, the band performed alongside Maroon 5 with The Beach Boys in celebration of the Beach Boys' fiftieth anniversary. In addition, the band have been nominated for two NME Awards and two MTV Music Video Awards. Their latest album is called SuperModel.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Amazing show!
by Westney on 10/13/17Tabernacle - AtlantaFoster the People put on an incredible show at the Tabernacle, which is hands down the best venue in Atlanta. Their energy on stage was palpable from the very first song and it continued throughout the entire show. I had pretty much resigned myself to thinking I would never have the opportunity to see Foster the People live so attending this concert was an unforgettable experience for me!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Outstanding Performance!
by ClintA on 10/13/17House of Blues Houston - HoustonI am a fan and saw them on their last tour which was years ago. Their sound is always fantastic but they really upped their game for this tour. They have an awesome light show for their stage. They have created these amazing intros and interludes for each song that you will never hear outside of this live performance. Not only does it really pump up the audience but it elevates their sound to a whole other level. Electronica mixed with rock mixed with psychedelic mixed with their signature sound = a live event you won't soon forget! If you have the opportunity to see Foster the People live, I highly recommend it.

by Vee123asd on 10/2/17Hard Rock Live Orlando - OrlandoI've been a fan of FTP for many years but this was my first time seeing them live and am I glad I did. It was an amazing live experience, and the talent and stage presence of the band members was electric. The set list was also excellent. Additionally, I appreciated Mark Foster using his platform to talk to the audience about spreading joy and peace. Bottom line is: if you're a fan, go see them!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Foster The People in Orlando
by ATLFanatic on 10/2/17Hard Rock Live Orlando - OrlandoI've been wanting to see FTP since their debut album. I've always heard they were amazing live but I was never able to say so for myself until Sep. 29. Hard Rock Live Orlando was a great venue to watch one of my favorite bands. There was lots of security which made me feel safe, especially since I went to the concert by myself. I had balcony seats on the 2nd row and they were amazing! I sat the whole time and was able to just listen and sing along to FTP and really enjoy the concert. The sound was great although the base was loud. I didn't mind it though because it didn't interfere with the band. I would definetly recommend this venue as well as FTP!
