Vampire Weekend has just announced their most ambitious outing yet. Their just-announced five-month long tour backing their forthcoming new album will include some of the band’s biggest performances to date, and will come to a conclusion at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 8. Vampire Weekend has not released new music since 2013’s critically-acclaimed Modern Vampires of The City, so when they released two singles in one day on January 24, hopes for a new project were high. Coupled with the tour announcement, the band announced that their newest project — titled Father of the Bride will be out this spring. With a new album in tow, their forthcoming Red Rocks appearance should be nothing short of spectacular.
The “Father of the Bride Tour” will have a verified fan presale registration starting on February 3 at 12 p.m. This registration will grant access to tickets starting Tuesday, February 5 at 10 a.m. Every online ticket purchased will come with a physical copy of their newest album.
Red Rocks has thrown a lot of different acts into the ring this concert season and we continue to be surprised by the releases as they are announced. Thankfully, the band was a hopeful contender for our Red Rocks predictions list. With a discography as diverse and unique as Vampire Weekend’s, we can only expect the same amount of quality and showmanship from their newest project — and an unforgettable concert to boot at one of the nations favorite venues.
Tickets go on sale Friday, February 8 at 12 p.m. on Live Nation and AXS.
