Vampire Weekend tickets

Vampire Weekend Tickets

Created in 2006, Vampire Weekend is one of the most popular purveyors of independent rock and pop in the world. The band's distinctive style is rounded out by an infusion of punk and sounds from different parts of the world as well. The name Vampire Weekend derives from the plot of a short horror film lead singer Ezra Koenig planned to make in college but soon abandoned. The band performs its own original material and does covers of popular songs from Bruce Springsteen, Radiohead and others.

Ivy League Act

Vampire Weekend is the result of a deep and lasting collaboration between four college students - Ezra Koenig, Chris Baio, Chris Tomson and Rostam Batmanglij - who met while attending Columbia University. After they graduated from school, the band recorded an extended play album in 2007 while still holding down full-time jobs. Vampire Weekend released its self-titled album a year later on January 29, 2008, to instant acclaim. The album reached a peak position of No. 17 on the US chart and received a platinum certification from the RIAA. The song A-Punk proved to be a major breakout hit for them. The band's three subsequent albums,

Contra

in 2010,

Modern Vampires of the City

in 2013 and

Father of the Bride

in 2019, all reached No. 1 on the US and rock charts.
