Foster The People, Foster Paradise State of Mind Tour, February 22
For a certain segment of folx in the Boston music scene, Foster The People will always be a kinda-sorta local band. Mark Foster’s longtime collaborator and co-conspirator Isom Innis once toiled in our fair city’s dirty rock clubs via electro-pop project Southern Belle, and we always figured he’d go on to global stages. So as Foster The People unveil their Foster Paradise State of Mind Tour for early ’25, we’re counting the February 22 party at Boston’s House of Blues as a homecoming gig. The duo will be on the road supporting this past summer’s ace new album Paradise State Of Mind, and given the upbeat and eclectic beats on the record, it should be quite the dance party. But like most Foster The People compositions, there’s a darker undercurrent to the gloss on the surface. “I think the trickiest part about this record was trying to be authentic about what had been going on with me,” says Foster via Audacity, “without writing something super dark and without glossing over it, either. Because, to me, it was really important that hope remain at the core of this whole thing.” Tickets go on sale next Friday (October 18) at 10 a.m. local time.
