Well here is a great example of GREAT opening acts for a lame headliner! Foster The People and their pumped up kicks will be touring some really large venues this spring and its surprising
Tickets for the tour go on sale today December 16th and guess what.. the opening bands are amazing
New York gets The Kooks, one of the best Brit pop bands to come around in a really long time. They don't tour often enough, so the Rumsey Field dates are really a treat, especially since there are two shows.
Boston gets another fantastic opener, Tokyo Police Club. This group goes from awesome to crap over and over but just when I write them off as garbage they impress me again
Simply said whomever is booking this tour made some great moves- I cant see arena sell outs but I suppose there is a chance if they got the dates. Foster The People are incredibly hot at the moment but will they fizzle out by these dates?
