Sterling Heights is getting a blast of indie-pop next fall when Foster the People bring their Good Mourning Sunshine North American tour to the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill on Friday. The stop is part of a coast-to-coast amphitheater run that finds the band back on the road behind their recent record, Paradise State of Mind.
Tour routing and support
The group laid out the Good Mourning Sunshine tour in a press release from Live Nation, which lists Goth Babe and The Beaches as special guests on select dates. The same announcement notes that the run kicks off September 9 in Phoenix and includes marquee amphitheater plays such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado.
How and when to buy tickets
Local presales begin tomorrow. Ticketmaster lists a Citi Cardmember presale starting tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. local time, followed by an artist presale beginning tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. local time, with additional presales rolling out ahead of a general on-sale set on Friday at 10:00 a.m. local time.
An event listing on Ticketmaster also spells out how to get into those early windows. Citi cardmembers are instructed to use the first six digits of their eligible Citi credit or debit card as the presale code and must complete the purchase with that same card. Live Nation All Access members can unlock their presales by signing into Ticketmaster with the same email address tied to their All Access account, so it is worth checking your login details before the clock strikes 10.
Venue notes and tips for buyers
The Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill will host the October 2 show, and the venue’s website includes arrival and parking details for anyone mapping out their night. Promoter 313 Presents confirms an 8 p.m. start time and echoes the noted presale schedule.
For fans aiming at artist presales, the band’s official hub at Foster the People lists registration options. If you are planning to jump on the Citi presale in particular, it would be wise to register ahead of time and have that Citi card within reach when the on-screen countdown hits zero.
