Vampire Weekend add tons of tour dates! 22 Jun 2010

Vampire Weekend has added a number of dates to their upcoming Fall tour. The entire run of shows include dates in some legendary venues. They include a show at Red Rocks, a sold-out three night stand in the band's hometown at the legendary Radio City Music Hall, and a show in Los Angeles at the gorgeous Hollywood Bowl.

The band’s sophomore release, Contra, was released by XL Recordings on January 12th and debuted at #1 on the Billboard chart, which was a first for a truly independent release by an indie rock band.  Their self-titled debut album was recently certified gold. Since the album's release, the band has performed on a number of late-night television shows, including most recently The Colbert Report where they performed "Holiday" and debated the need for an Oxford Comma with Stephen Colbert.

Earlier this month, the band also made a surprise appearance in New York at Conan O'Brien's Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television tour. The band played "Walcott" and Conan even joined them on guitar for the rendition. Vampire Weekend is spending most of the summer playing shows all over the world including Glastonbury, Roskilde, Montreaux Jazz Festival, T In The Park, Benicassim, Latitude and more before the start of their tour in Vancouver on 8/27.
