Vampire Weekend announces North American tour, shares new music ahead of upcoming album
It's a new day for Vampire Weekend.
The beloved indie rock band is back with new music, a 39-date North American tour and a new album, "Only God Was Above Us," set for release April 5 after a half-decade away.
The new album, announced last week, is the follow-up to the band's 2019 album "Father of the Bride." Their last album topped the Billboard Hot 100 and garnered 2020 Grammy nominations for album of the year and a win for best alternative rock album, while the record's lead single "Harmony Hall" scored a nod for best rock song.
The three-person band features lead singer Ezra Koenig, bassist Chris Baio and drummer Chris Tomson. Vampire Weekend released a pair of new singles, “Capricorn” and “Gen-X Cops,” to support the new album.
This Vampire Weekend tour has an interesting twist. The two-time Grammy winners will headline Saturday night shows at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, California, KettleHouse Amphitheater in Bonner, Montana and New York’s famed Madison Square Garden. Then, they'll wake up and do it again the next day on Sunday morning.
"Only God Was Above Us" is out April 5 on a series of formats including on streaming services, physical CDs, standard black vinyl records and limited-edition clear vinyl records on the band’s website.
