Foster The People

Overview

There is nothing better than a sing-a-long to make you realise why you love live music in the first place. The people, the coming together – it's pure magic. This is exactly what the packed tent felt at Splendour last year when Foster The People took to the stage and made everyone in attendance blissfully happy with their set.

Known for the stand out single that made them stars, 'Pumped Up Kicks', Foster The People are a trio from LA, and who have shown no signs of slowing down. If you hadn't checked out their debut album Torches, you would be surprised to know that these guys are actually immensely talented and have singles bursting right out of the record. For a band that struggled for many years to make it, they have had largely positive reviews and have become one of the biggest names of the past year. They've even been nominated for an MTV Music Award – and all from one track that cemented their careers and thrust them into the global limelight.

Here in Australia for the Big Day Out national tour for the first time, this will be an amazing opportunity to see them in action before they explode and you have to scramble to get arena tickets.
