Vampire Weekend takes 'City' tour into fall

Still touring in support of their critically acclaimed third album Modern Vampires Of The City, Vampire Weekend have added more dates to their fall run.

Along with previously announced headlining stops at Brooklyn's Barclay's Center and Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl, the band have now announced stops at Philadelphia's Mann Center and Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, among others. 

Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires Of The City entered the U.S. album chart at #1, and has gone on to sell nearly 250,000 copies since its May 14 release on XL Recordings.

This is the second time Vampire Weekend has achieved such a landmark: Its sophomore album Contra also debuted at #1 in 2010, making Modern Vampires... the first time an independent rock band has entered at #1 with two consecutive releases.
