Foster The People To Tour As A Phenomenon In 2012

From a local favorite to a phenomenon is how you could describe the band Foster The People. Maybe it is because of their attitude towards their fans or simply the quality of their music. Anyhow, with six more months to go they are announcing their forthcoming tour. Is not that something right?

On May 29th their tour will start with two nights in New York. They will be making stops in 21 cities to end in Phoenix. To earn some more money they are partnering with luxury experience site Gilt City which will be selling advance tickets in 19 cities, here. Members will have the opportunity to purchase pre-sale tickets (ranging from $41 to $76 by city) and a limited edition lithograph designed by Foster The People.

Foster The People "in one year have gone from local favorite to a phenomenon," explains the LA Weekly, who were among the first to catch the band playing their residency to 200 fans at the Echo in January 2011. Since its release in May of 2011, Torches has sold over 1 million copies worldwide. This summer they will wrap up 18 months of touring by playing iconic amphitheaters around the country.
