Following a sold-out global tour in 2025 and a momentous performance at Coachella, Grammy nominated band Foster the People is going back on the road for a new North American tour that will stop at 713 Music Hall in Houston on Saturday, October 17.

The “Good Mourning Sunshine” tour will kick off in Canada with a stop in Calgary, Alberta on July 9, and visit 30 cities over four months with a final show on October 23 in Los Angeles, California.

In addition to Houston, Foster the People will visit Austin on October 16 and Irving on October 18.

Foster the People's first album, Torches, was a genre-defying debut whose debut single "Pumped Up Kicks" propelled the band to stardom in 2011. The group's second and third albums — Supermodel and Sacred Hearts Club — followed in 2014 and 2017, earning critical acclaim from numerous outlets before the group went on an extended hiatus.

In 2024, Foster the People released its fourth studio album, Paradise State of Mind, which garnered the band's third Top 10 on Billboard’s Album Sales chart. The record takes inspiration from late-70's and early 80's funk, disco, R&B, and gospel while weaving in themes of hope through the lyrics and a psychedelic feel.

Tickets for the tour, promoted by Live Nation, will be available starting on Tuesday, May 5 through various presales. General onsale will begin Friday, May 8 at 10 am at fosterthepeople.com.
