Foster the People with Special Guests: Kimbra and Tokyo Police Club

Foster the People is an American indie pop band formed in Los Angeles, California. The group is composed of Mark Foster (vocals, keyboards, piano, synthesizers, guitar, programming, percussion), Mark Pontius (drums and extra percussion), and Cubbie Fink (bass and backing vocals). The group's music, described as melodic dance-infused pop and rock, spans many genres.

After Foster wrote the song "Pumped Up Kicks", which became a viral success in 2010, the group was signed to Columbia Records' imprint Startime International and gained a fanbase through small club shows and appearances at the music festivals Coachella and South by Southwest.

After releasing their debut album Torches in May 2011, "Pumped Up Kicks" became a crossover hit on commercial radio in mid-2011, reaching number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, number three on the Rock Songs chart, and number three on the Billboard Hot 100, while charting on the Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 charts
