Vampire Weekend tickets

New York's very own Vampire Weekend has announced their Contra Tour, which will be stopping in Minneapolis on Monday, March 22nd, 2010. First Avenue tickets for this event will definitely sell out for this show! Last time Vampire Weekend was here they played at the Triple Rock Social Club (aka the T-Rock for short) and that show was way wayyyy sold out.

Vampire Weekend are on tour in support of their new album "Contra" which will be released on January 11th, 2010. It has been highly anticipated - their self titled album was very successful when it was released. There was a lot of buzz about them, their tour sold out, and they were what everyone was talking about a couple of years ago. We will have to see if their new album "Contra" goes as far as the last one did.

First Avenue tickets go on sale Friday, however, it looks like if you are in the Vampire Weekend fanclub you can buy your First Avenue tickets on Wednesday.

I am going to do something a little unlike me, I am going to wait until the opening act is announced to decide if I am going to go or not. Vampire Weekend have some catchy jams ('A-' was featured in the classic Stepbrothers with Will Ferrell) their song "Ottoman" was in the movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. And not to mention their new jam, "Cousins" is very addicting. I turn up the volume when it is on the radio. My Sirius XMU station has been giving it a lot of air time these past few weeks!
