Early next year, Foster the People are hitting the road on a 23-city run across North America.
The Paradise State of Mind Tour will kick-off in Seattle on Jan. 25 before making stops in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and other great cities. There is a Chicago performance scheduled to take place at The Salt Shed on Feb. 15 and the tour will conclude in Dallas on March 6.
Pre-sales begin Tuesday, Oct. 15 and tickets will be available for the general public beginning on Friday, Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. local time. Good Neighbours will serve as special guests throughout the run.
As the tour name suggests, the trek is in support of the band’s acclaimed new album, Paradise State of Mind.
“I think the trickiest part about this record was trying to be authentic about what had been going on with me,” said Mark Foster in a statement, “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. People need hope. I need hope. And when I think about what hope is – it’s having the courage to walk towards something that you think can be better, while fully acknowledging the darkness and reality around you. That was the goal, walking into this album, which was actually really tricky – to make something that rang true to what was on my mind, but that had this much groove and that would be fun to dance to. You know, to me, they’re like Trojan Horses, the message is hiding in the melody.”
