Foster The People – best known for their chart-topping hit "Pumped Up Kicks" - formed in late 2009 when band mates Mark Foster, Cubbie Fink and Mark Ponitus got together in Los Angeles. Foster, originally from Cleveland, OH, had been writing and recording music since his youth but it wasn’t until Foster The People was formed that Foster’s music for the band’s debut release, Torches, was ready for airtime. In early 2010, "Pumped Up Kicks" debuted on the Internet and quickly infiltrated the radio airwaves. Following the popular single, word-of-mouth propelled Torches to No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts.
Reptar likes to first and foremost make people dance. Since SXSW 2011, the upbeat indie rock band - made up of Andrew McFarland, Ryan Engleberger, Graham Ulicny, and William Kennedy – has been on the rise in the indie music scene. With their funky mix of upbeat rock drumbeats, synthesizers and vocals with great range, Reptar continues to receive rave reviews.
This exciting live entertainment experience is just the latest entertainment offering from The Cosmopolitan. Throughout the year, The Boulevard Pool will set the stage for Las Vegas’ most unique live concerts. Perched high above The Las Vegas Strip, The Boulevard Pool is a multilevel pool experience by day and an intimate outdoor concert venue with unobstructed sightlines of both the stage and The Strip by night. For more information please call 702.698.7778.
