Vampire Weekend Prepares for Grand North American Tour in 2024 and Drops Fresh Tunes

Fresh off the press, the American rock band Vampire Weekend has given their eager fans a delightful surprise this week by releasing the first singles from their highly anticipated new album, titled Only God Was Above Us. Devotees of the band need not wait until the scheduled album release date of April 5 to enjoy new music; the preliminary singles Gen-X Cops and Capricorn are already making waves, having been released just yesterday.

Only God Was Above Us Tour: A Glimpse Into the Details

Building on their musical momentum, Vampire Weekend has concurrently announced an extensive North American tour to promote the upcoming album. An eclectic mix of supporting acts such as La Lom, The English Beat, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Mike Gordon, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Princess, Ra Ra Riot, Cults, The Brothers Macklovitch, Turnstiles, and Mark Ronson will grace the tour stages.

Slated to begin on April 8 at Austin’s Moody Amphitheater—where tickets have already sold out—the Only God Was Above Us Tour will wrap up on October 17, potentially extending with additional dates, in the same city. Despite arousing intrigue with their tour and album promotion via Instagram, the band has been notably tight-lipped about further specifics. However, a press release hinted that frontman Ezra Koenig drew inspiration from 20th-century New York for the album, with the adept assistance of co-producer Ariel Rechtshaid.

A Look at Vampire Weekend

Emerging from New York City in 2006, Vampire Weekend skyrocketed to success with their 2008 self-titled debut album, featuring standout tracks like A-Punk and Oxford Comma. With Father of the Bride, their last offering from 2019, the indie rock band left fans clamoring for more. It appears their patience will be richly rewarded with new tracks and an extensive tour circuit.
