Foster the People -- From Pumped Up Kicks to the Good Mourning Sunshine Tour

Foster the People burst onto the scene in 2010 with Pumped Up Kicks, a song that became one of the most ubiquitous indie pop tracks of the decade. But reducing the band to a single hit would be a mistake. Over four studio albums and more than 15 years together, frontman Mark Foster and his rotating cast of collaborators have built a catalog of shimmering, synth-driven pop-rock that holds up from start to finish. Albums like Torches, Supermodel, and Sacred Hearts Club each explored different corners of the genre, blending psychedelic textures, electronic production, and hook-heavy songwriting into a sound that works as well on festival main stages as it does in headphones.

The Good Mourning Sunshine Tour comes at a moment of renewed energy for the band. After a period of relative quiet, Foster the People returned with fresh material that reminded fans and critics why they fell for the group in the first place. The 2026 tour routing reflects a band that knows exactly where their music sounds best -- outdoor amphitheaters and iconic open-air venues where the sunset hits during the set and the energy builds as the night unfolds.

The venue list is genuinely impressive. Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado is one of the most legendary concert venues on the planet -- a natural rock formation that creates unmatched acoustics and a visual experience unlike any other show you will ever see. The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles serves as the tour finale and homecoming show, an outdoor amphitheater nestled in Griffith Park that has hosted countless iconic performances. Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley offers a Northern California counterpart with its own eucalyptus-lined hillside charm.

Other standout stops include Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park in Austin, Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls near Cleveland, and Hayden Homes Amphitheater in Bend, Oregon. The tour also hits traditional indoor venues in cities like New York, Chicago, Toronto, and Boston, giving fans options across both the outdoor summer experience and the tighter, louder indoor fall shows.

The supporting acts add serious value to every bill. Goth Babe brings surf-inflected indie pop with an infectious live energy that has built a massive streaming audience, while The Beaches bring guitar-driven Canadian rock with attitude. Together with Foster the People, each night offers a three-act lineup that justifies showing up early and staying until the encore.
