Vampire Weekend with guest Christone "Kingfish" Ingram

Vampire Weekend has confirmed the itinerary of its most ambitious North American tour to date, running May 17 through October 8. Produced by Live Nation, the Father of the Bride Tour will feature the band’s biggest headline shows to date, including a September 6 stand at Madison Square Garden, an October 2 stop at the Hollywood Bowl, festival headlines, and their August 25 appearance at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre.

Last week Vampire Weekend released the songs “Harmony Hall” and “2021″ from their upcoming fourth album, Father of the Bride, to an ecstatic critical reaction including accolades from Billboard Magazine, who wrote that the album “sprawls out with lush symphonies, communal vibes aplenty.” Along with Pitchfork stating the album was “buoyant, filled with the kind of sunlit energy created when throwing open the shutters.” Father of the Bride will be released spring 2019 on Columbia Records.
