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.

Def Leppard will co-headline a 2027 tour with Goo Goo Dolls, stopping at Dickies Arena on April 18.

It will be a rockin' good time when Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Def Leppard and Goo Goo Dolls team up for a co-headlining tour in 2027, which will include a stop at the Toyota Center in Houston on Tuesday, June 1.

The two bands, along with special guests The Struts, will set out on a 45-city journey through the U.S. and Canada, starting on March 2 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

In addition to Houston, the tour will stop in Austin on April 13, Fort Worth on April 18, and San Antonio on May 29.

Def Leppard is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a band, having been founded in 1976 in Sheffield, England. The group released its debut album, On Through the Night, in 1980.

They went on to become one of the most successful bands of the '80s and '90s, scoring No. 1 albums with Hysteria and Adrenalize, and notching hits like "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Love Bites," and "Let's Get Rocked."

They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.

Goo Goo Dolls started releasing albums in the late '80s, but didn't break out out until their 1995 album, A Boy Named Goo, which featured the hit song, "Name."

The group became iconic with hits like "Iris" and "Slide" off of the 1998 album, Dizzy Up the Girl, going on to release a string of top 10 albums.

Def Leppard's most recent release of new songs was Diamond Star Halos in 2022. Goo Goo Dolls put out its most recent album, Chaos in Bloom, the same year.

Tickets will be available starting with an Artist Fan Club presale beginning on Monday, October 12 at 10 am, followed by a Citi and Verizon presale for the U.S. dates on Monday, October 12 at 12 pm.

Additional presales will run ahead of the general on-sale, which begins on Friday, October 16 at 10 am at Livenation.com.

For every ticket sold, $1 will be donated to City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, helping advance groundbreaking research and innovative treatments for people facing cancer.
