Country singer and "American Idol" runner-up John Foster will take the stage along Bayou Plaquemine Oct. 24 for the International Acadian Festival.

Foster announced the show on his website. The Lauren Lee Band will perform at 7 p.m., with Foster beginning his concert at 9 p.m.

Gates will open at 4 p.m., according to the festival's Facebook page.

Tickets can be purchased online for $21 or $26 at the gate.

As the Addis native progressed through "American Idol," locals hoped he would honor the planned performance at the International Acadian Festival. Foster previously performed at the Bayou Plaquemine Waterfront Park in May, and footage was used for the finale of the singing competition. That concert packed the venue, with thousands gathering in the park or on boats in the bayou.

Foster came in second in the singing competition to Jamal Roberts from Mississippi. According to a recent Facebook post, he has not yet signed with a major record label.

"That's one of my biggest goals, and I'm working day and night to make it happen," Foster wrote. "But as of now, it hasn't happened yet."

Foster has multiple gigs throughout the South and Midwest planned this fall. He is set to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in September in Nashville, Tennessee.
