Vampire Weekend are embarking on a MASSIVE tour of the US and Europe joined along the way by some amazing bands including Ratatat, Beach House and Janelle Monae.
They recently posted the news up on the VW website:
We’re excited by the prospect of sweater weather, our busy Fall and our crazy touring adventures that have recently begun. We’re out west at the moment and touring all over the US from now until mid-Oct. Then we’re very lucky to be playing in Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Japan before heading on to Europe.
We’re gonna be joined by some amazing people along the way. Beach House are accompanying us for most of our US shows, Dum Dum Girls are along for the first half, and then our friends in The Very Best will be heading out with us too. We can now also announce that Jenny & Johnny have just been confirmed as support in Europe starting on Nov 10th in Lisbon.
We’ll be kicking off a short UK visit with Ratatat on Thanksgiving, where we will hopefully eat some turkey in Blackpool, and we’ll be joined in London by Laura Marling and Janelle Monae. Wrapping it all up on Dec 5th and 6th, we are psyched to be playing 2 shows with The Arcade Fire. Is that enough? There will no doubt be a few more shows added along the way. And finally, here’s a fantastic remix of ‘White Sky’ that Basement Jaxx made we’d like to share with you all. See you soon!
