Vampire Weekend & Beach House extend tour, coming to Raleigh

Just when we thought there would be no new announcements for the inaugural season of the Downtown Raleigh Amphitheater, here comes to the coolest show booked at the venue to date.

Indie superstars Vampire Weekend have extended their fall tour with Beach House and will play the venue on Sunday, Oct. 17. Tickets for the show will go on sale here on Friday Aug. 27 for $28.50 or $37.50. Students will be given a $5 discount if they buy tickets at the Progress Energy Center box office and present their student ID (there is a limit of two tickets per ID).

Vampire Weekend's sophomore release Contra was released in January. Check out the video for the excellent song "Giving Up the Gun" from the album below along with the full tour schedule.
