Hot on the heels of their highly anticipated sophomore album Contra to be released on January 12 in America, New York City’s Vampire Weekend have announced on their MySpace an extensive tour of North America.
The 24-date tour will begin in Edmonton, Alberta on March 14 and conclude in Oakland on April 19. The band is selling out all over the place: 4 dates previously announced for this month (one gig in Los Angeles and three in New York City) have already sold out, and so has an entire 10-date UK tour in February.
