BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Foster the People will bring their brand-new live show, which debuted at Coachella, to the Hayden Homes Amphitheater in Bend this September.
The band will headline the show on Saturday, September 12, 2026, with special guest Goth Babe. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the show begins at 7 p.m. The concert features a pop, alternative and dance sound.
An online-only venue presale for tickets begins Thursday, May 7 at 10 a.m.
General onsale for tickets starts Friday, May 8 at 10 a.m.
The North American tour follows the band's 2023 album release, Paradise State of Mind.
General tickets will be available for purchase online or in person at the Ticket Mill in the Old Mill District. Chair rentals for general admission tickets are available while supplies last, and securing a rental at the time of ticket purchase is recommended.
Foster the People, a Los Angeles band, debuted in 2011 with their album Torches, featuring the song “Pumped Up Kicks.” They released Supermodel in 2014 and Sacred Hearts Club in 2017.
The band recorded its latest album, Paradise State of Mind, between London’s Church Studios and EastWest Studios in Los Angeles. Lead vocalist Mark Foster said the album “hides the message in the melody,” adding, “People need hope. I need hope. And when I think about what hope is — it's having the courage to walk toward something that you think can be better, while fully acknowledging the darkness and reality around you.”
The 2023 album draws on influences from late 1970s and early 1980s funk, disco, gospel and R&B.
The band’s new live show features immersive visuals that transport audiences through a 1950s-style utopia that transitions into a dystopia, ultimately ending on a hopeful note. The production aims to invite audiences to find joy in chaos and beauty in darkness.
To receive a presale code for the online-only venue presale, individuals can sign up for Concert Alerts. The chair set-up location for rented chairs may be designated on show night.
Foster the People’s North American tour is scheduled for this fall.
