Modern Vampire Weekend Dates

Vampire Weekend says the band is just “thrilled” to add 10 new U.S. dates to its fall itinerary. But first the indie rockers have more than a dozen festival appearances around the globe to take care of, as they show off their brand new LP.

Modern Vampires of the City was released in May as the follow-up to the band’s sophomore album, 2010’s Contra.

Summer festival appearances include Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, Optimus Alive, Fuji Rock and Osheaga. Ezra Koenig and the gang haven’t forgotten about the U.S. festival circuit either – the band will take the stage at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Boston Calling.
