Vampire Weekend Play Seven-Hour Show In New York City

Vampire Weekend released their highly anticipated fourth album (first in six years) Father of the Bride on Friday (May 3) and have been celebrating ever since. On release day, the band serenaded fans in New York City's Washington Park with an acoustic jam, and on Sunday played a seven hour long show at Webster Hall. The epic concert was broken down into three sets spanning the indie rockers' discography, and included a performance of FOTB in its entirety.

As Stereogum points out, this was the first time Vampire Weekend played the songs “Rich Man,” “My Mistake,” “We Belong Together,” “Stranger,” “Spring Snow,” “Jerusalem, New York, Berlin,” and “Sympathy” live.

Danielle Haim joined them to perform her parts on “Hold You Now,” “Married in a Gold Rush,” “We Belong Together,” and “Stranger,” then rejoined the band during the encore to cover Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys Are Back in Town.” The other Haim sisters came out to help on “This Life.”

Vampire Weekend also invited Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes onstage to assist on the last song of the day, "Ya Hey" off 2016's Modern Vampires of the City. Check out the set list and footage from the all-day event below.
