Vampire Weekend kicked off the second leg of their North American tour on August 16th and have been blazing across the continent to deliver vampire weekenders a show they'll never forget. And performing nearly 30 songs every night, how could they?
Yes, their setlists are long enough to include plenty of new cuts off of new and long-awaited album Father of the Bride, alongside old favorites, deep cuts, staples, and covers!
Their most performed song on the tour so far has been, as you may have guessed, "A-Punk!" The track that put them on the indie-rock map all those years ago. However, after FOTB, their most performed album is Modern Vampires of the City. Still, both Contra and their self-titled have had plenty of time in the spotlight over the summer. They've even thrown in non-album singles like "Ottoman," "Arrows," and for the first time ever, they've been playing "Jonathan Low" off of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack. And that's not even the best part, because during the encore, they let a very lucky fan in the crowd request a song!
And then there are the covers. We've counted 15 cover songs so far! That includes frontman Ezra Koenig's collab single with SBTRKT called "New Dorp. New York." Throughout the tour, they've covered artists like Crowded House, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and more. See the complete list below:
And then there's the production! Bigger and better than ever. To catch a glimpse of what it's been like, simply swipe through out photo gallery in the header above to view Live Photos from their October 1st stop in San Francisco at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Then peep the setlist right here:
