John Foster, the soulful crooner from Addis, Louisiana, just made hometown hearts swell with pride—he’s officially hitting the stage at the Cajun Country Jam Memorial Day Festival in Denham Springs. This will be his first live performance since becoming the 2025 American Idol runner-up, and the buzz online is already electric.
The festival, held May 23–25 at North Park on Eden Church Road, is known for showcasing country stars and Louisiana’s best homegrown talent. John revealed on social media that he’ll definitely be performing on Sunday, with a possible Saturday set still in the works. Tickets for the full three-day experience run $75, but for fans eager to see Foster live again, the value is clear: this is more than a show—it’s a homecoming.
It’s a big full-circle moment for the 24-year-old singer, who won over America with his rich vocals and raw storytelling, especially in unforgettable performances like his audition rendition of “Tennessee Whiskey.” That song didn’t just showcase his vocal range—it cemented him as one of the most emotionally resonant artists in the competition.
Now, Foster is returning to the stage with even more depth, experience, and anticipation behind him. Fans have been flooding his social media with comments like “Finally get to hear him live again!” and “We’ve been waiting for this!” Many are already planning their road trips and meet-up spots for the show.
Leading up to the festival, John’s been active on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, sharing rehearsal footage, behind-the-scenes clips, and his signature blend of humility and heart. Whether you followed his Idol journey from the start or just discovered his voice, this Cajun Country Jam performance promises to be a powerful celebration of where he’s been—and where he’s headed next.
