Foster the People
Personally, we won't be buying tickets to this. But if you can tolerate hearing "Pumped Up Kicks" one more time, you might want to consider it. As for us at Chicagoist, we're pretty sure that six months from now, we'll still be building defenses to keep that terribly catchy song out of our ears. They'll be playing with Tokyo Police Club, so there's that. Tickets go on sale today, if you have eardrums of steel.
