A month shy of the one year anniversary of Torches, Foster The People have released the video for their fourth single, “Houdini.”  The video premiered worldwide on MTV recently.  Directed by Daniels (The Shins, Chromeo, Battles), the video for “Houdini” is a darkly comedic take on the age-old saying “the show must go on.”

On the heels of groundbreaking performances at this year’s 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards^® and Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Oscar Party, Foster The People will kick off their Summer tour on May 29th including  three sold-out nights in New York City’s Central Park playing to 17,000. The band will also make their debut at this year’s Bonnaroo Arts and Music Festival.  Foster The People will go on to play multiple sold-out shows in major cities around North America, including nights at Chicago’s Congress Theatre, the Gibson Theatre in Los Angeles, and a performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado (see all dates below). Support along the way will include The Kooks, Tokyo Police Club, Mayer Hawthorne & The County and Kimbra.

During their summer tour (tour dates below), Foster The People will reunite with The Beach Boys in Cubbie Fink’s hometown of San Diego, CA at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre, as well as in Mark Foster’s hometown amphitheater, Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH.

Foster The People released their GRAMMY nominated album Torches in May of 2011 which, to date, has sold over 800,000 copies in the US. The band’s GRAMMY nominated single “Pumped Up Kicks” has now been certified 4x platinum.
