Vampire Weekend tour: Dates and venues

Vampire Weekend is set to release their fifth studio album, Only God Was Above Us, on April 5, 2024, via Columbia Records. Speaking about the upcoming album in an interview with the New York Times on March 24, 2024, band member Ezra Koenig stated:

"With every album we have to push in two directions at once. Sometimes that means we have to be poppier and weirder. Maybe with this record, it’s about both pushing into true maturity, in terms of worldview and attitude, but also pushing back further into playfulness. There’s a youthful amateurishness along with some of our most ambitious swings ever."
"Its not a doom and gloom record. And even if there’s songs where the narrator is trying to figure something out or feels confused, that’s not all. That’s part of the story — it’s not the thesis of the album that the world is dark and horrible." The singer continued.

Now, the band has announced the UK and Europe leg of their album tour, which will take place after an extensive North America tour preceding it in April to October.
