It’s getting to be a really exciting year for us fans of Vampire Weekend.
As you’ll recall, Vampire Weekend released their first new material in six years, “2021” and “Harmony Hall”, last week to a riotous uproar from fans and news outlets everywhere. As we all now know, the group’s highly-anticipated comeback/fourth album, Father of the Bride, is due out Spring 2019, and we can only imagine what catchy tracks the follow up to 2013’s Modern Vampires Of The City will bring. And now, as of Wednesday morning, it’s confirmed the band will finally be on the road again, snaking all across the country, hitting every major city and many in-between. With a months-long US tour to commemorate the release, fans can rest assured there’ll never be a dull moment this year, unlike the wait during the previous six.
Despite the years-long hiatus, Vampire Weekend never ceased to be relevant. Their songs were done so remarkably that fans never got tired, and instead found community in each other, banding together on their love for these songs that was only growing bigger. In fact, it seemed the NYC three-piece became even more popular in their absence; it was almost impossible to escape the uproar that even the smallest of VW-related news would cause. We’re a bit surprised, given the hubbub, that they weren’t confirmed for Coachella or any other major festival, but this full US tour more than makes up for it. That and we still have a few more festival lineups to go (cough, cough, Lollapalooza).
Tickets go on sale to the public here on Friday, February 8, but dedicated fans can register here to have access to the presale, which begins this coming Tuesday, February 5. Every online ticket purchased will be accompanied by a physical CD copy of the band’s forthcoming album, Father of the Bride. A full list of shows can be found below.
