The "Good Mourning Sunshine Tour" features two supporting acts across the run.

Goth Babe is the primary opener on 27 of 28 dates. His indie and folk-leaning sound pairs naturally with Foster The People's sonic palette, and his live sets have built a loyal following that makes arriving early well worth it.

The Beaches join the bill as a special guest for the Red Rocks Amphitheatre show on Tuesday, September 22 in Morrison, CO. The Canadian indie rock band adds another layer of energy to what's already shaping up as the tour's marquee date. Opening acts are always subject to change, so check the specific event listing for your show before you go.

What to expect at a Foster The People concert

Foster The People's live shows are high-energy, crowd-participatory and built around anthemic moments that hit differently in an outdoor amphitheater setting. This is not a sit-down show.

The setlist will likely balance new material from "Paradise State of Mind" with the catalog staples that made the band a festival headliner — think 'Pumped Up Kicks,' 'Helena Beat,' 'Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)' and 'Houdini' alongside deeper cuts and newer tracks. A typical Foster The People headline set runs approximately 90 minutes to two hours.

Production will be scaled for amphitheater-caliber venues, with lighting and sound designed for rooms like Red Rocks and Forest Hills Stadium. A few things worth keeping in mind:

• Arrive early: Goth Babe's opening set is worth catching from the start.

• Merch lines move fast: Getting to the venue before doors gives you the best selection.

• Encore is expected: Leaving early means missing some of the best moments.

• Red Rocks tip: Dress in layers and hydrate. The altitude at 6,450 feet is real, especially if you're not used to it.
