Vampire Weekend is back with the latest episode of their hit podcast, Vampire Campfire. The fourth installment brings the fire indoors as Ezra Koenig, Chris Baio and Chris Tomson come to you from their tour bus, where they take a break from their wildly successful and entirely SOLD OUT first run of dates from Austin, Houston, Dallas, TX, Phoenix, AZ, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Berkeley, CA.
The conversation picks up where they last left off: The launch of their fifth studio album, Only God Was Above Us- currently a fixture on Best Albums of 2024 So Far lists (Billboard, Brooklyn Vegan, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Uproxx)-the launch of the tour, and of course other important insights into the consequential matters of the day.
The next leg of the Only God Was Above Us tour will kick off at a SOLD OUT Red Rocks on July 19th and will grace stages across North America, the UK And Europe.
Fans in Chicago will be treated to Vampire Weekend Presents: Fun and Amusements at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island ahead of Vampire Weekend’s July 26 & 27 performances.
