Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, CA — February 7, 2025

Foster The People’s concert was an electrifying experience from start to finish. Opening act, Good Neighbours, set the tone with their new single, “Ripple” and the crowd responded with infectious energy. It was clear that anticipation for their upcoming record was high—everyone knew the track and eagerly engaged with the group. The lead singer’s captivating stage presence and playful interaction with the crowd—encouraging sing-along call backs and spontaneous dancing—added to the vibrant atmosphere. They also treated the audience to the unreleased track, “Starry Eyed” keeping the excitement building. The highlight of the opening set came when the crowd erupted as “Home” was played second to last. It was a moment of pure unity, with fans singing every word and harmonizing in unison. There’s something truly cathartic about being in a room full of people singing the same song. It’s a beautiful reminder that, in those moments, we’re all connected.

As for Foster The People, they didn’t hold back. The five-piece band commanded the stage with an intensity that seemed to pulse through every note. Whether it was the immersive smoke, the stunning light production, or the sheer passion of the performance, the energy was palpable from the first moment. Playing a setlist that ranged from cult-classics to newer releases, the energy in the room didn’t wane or fizzle at any point. The crowd was an enthusiastic mix of people who clearly didn’t just come to hear music—they came for the experience. It was a night that captured the true magic of live shows.
