Foster the People made a stop at Emo’s for a sold-out show with ACL Fest Nights to kick off their upcoming appearance at Austin City Limits Music Festival. ACL Fest Nights make it a bit more accessible for people to see their favorite artists who are also playing at the legendary music festival without having to buy festival passes. Instead, fans can purchase individual tickets to smaller venues across the city! 

The crowd was buzzing as soon as I walked in the doors, and local artist, Skateland, had already captivated the audience as the opener, with many singing along to his songs. It was immediately apparent that his sound was the perfect complement to what would be the headliner’s indie-pop vibe. 

The set for Foster the People was delayed for about 20 minutes as the crowd continued to grow restless. But as soon as the band took the stage, the room was transformed into a massive dance party with near constant cheering from the crowd. Song after song, nearly everyone in the crowd was dancing throughout their entire set.
