Vampire Weekend announce Melbourne & Sydney headline shows
Vampire Weekend have just announced that they are coming to Melbourne and Sydney this January for two special summer headline shows!
Following a wildly entertaining set at Australia's acclaimed Big Day Out Festival in January, the band is ready to make the return trip Down Under in 2014 for two special headlining shows in Melbourne and Sydney on January 6th and 8th, respectively. This announcement comes after the band recently confirmed their appearance at The Falls Music & Arts Festival in Marion Bay, Lorne and Byron Bay at the end of 2013.
Ezra Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij, Chris Baio and Chris Tomson have laid claim to 2013 with the release of their history-making third album, Modern Vampires of the City debuting at #7 on the ARIA chart here in Australia, but landing squarely at #1 on the U.S. album chart in their homeland.
Shortly after the May release of their new album, Vampire Weekend embarked on a massive tour of the European and North American summer festival circuit. During these engagements, the band proved to be one of the most exciting live acts in music with audiences and critics alike raving:
When Vampire Weekend graced Australian shores for a headline performance earlier this year, the show unsurprisingly sold out swiftly. Their flawless live execution made the atmosphere palpable and when they return next January with special guests Gang of Youths and armed with a whole new set of stompers alongside their insanely infectious classics, you can expect tickets to fly just as fast.
Frontier Members pre-sale from 2pm Mon 14th Oct to 2pm Tue 15th Oct (or earlier if pre-sale allocation is exhausted)
General public on sale from 9am Thu 17th Oct
Mon 6th Jan - Melbourne, Festival Hall - tickets from Ticketmaster
Wed 8th Jan - Sydney, Hordern Pavilion - tickets from Ticketek
