Indie pop band Foster The People recently announced their North American headline Paradise State of Mind Tour with special guest Good Neighbours.

The 23-city run, produced by Live Nation, gets underway Jan. 25, 2025, in Seattle. The tour will make a Phoenix stop at The Van Buren on Feb. 4.

The tour celebrates the recent arrival of Foster the People’s new album, "Paradise State of Mind." The album made a top 10 debut on Billboard’s Top Albums Sales chart upon its August release and has been met by critical applause around the world.

Speaking about the making of the album, Mark Foster said in the tour announcement, “I think the trickiest part about this record was trying to be authentic about what had been going on with me 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."

Presale registration is available now. Presales begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday. The general on-sale begins at 10 a.m. Friday. For complete details including presale registration and ticket information, visit the band website.
