Vampire Weekend have announced an extra London date for their 2024 UK and Ireland tour – find all the details below.
The NYC band are due to hit the road this November in support of their fifth album ‘Only God Was Above Us’, which was released on April 5.
Ezra Koenig and co. were already scheduled to play two nights at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on December 4 and 5, along with a show at the O2 Academy Brixton on December 10.
Now, they’ve confirmed a second appearance at the O2 Academy Brixton on December 11. Tickets for the additional date go on general sale at 9:30am BST this Friday (April 26) – you’ll be able to buy yours here.
Fans can access an O2 Priority pre-sale or a past booker pre-sale at the same time tomorrow (Wednesday 24) and Thursday (25), respectively. Visit here for more information.

Vampire Weekend are due to perform at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Luton next month. Other festival appearances for the season include Primavera Sound, Kilby Block Party and Hinterland.
The group recently kicked off a run of North American dates with a special show in Austin, Texas, which coincided with the total solar eclipse.
They have since made a last-minute appearance at the first weekend of Coachella 2024, where they were joined on stage by Paris Hilton.
In a four-star review of ‘Only God Was Above Us’, NME wrote: “It’s an ambitious concoction of sounds that don’t seem to exist in the same realm, yet intertwine naturally beneath Koenig’s increasingly sullen vocals.”
