A week after announcing their return, Vampire Weekend on Friday released two new singles and announced a lengthy amphitheater tour that will see the New York pop band playing the Greek in Berkeley on June 15 and 16.

The 39-date tour follows previously announced festival appearances and a performance that will take place under the path of April’s total solar eclipse. The Berkeley dates include a matinee show on June 16; it is one of three cities to get a normal evening gig followed by a daytime show.

Ezra Koenig, Chris Baio and Chris Tomson hand-selected the tour’s opening acts, which will include LA LOM, The English Beat, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Mike Gordon, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Ra Ra Riot, Princess (Maya Rudolph and Gretchen Lieberum), Cults, Mark Ronson, Turnstiles and The Brothers Macklovitch. Mike Gordon will open both Berkeley shows.



Citi cardholders will get the first crack at tickets in a presale that begins Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 10 a.m. local time and runs through 10 p.m. on Feb. 22. An artist presale will begin on Feb. 21 at 10 a.m. local time. Registration is required on Vampire Weekend’s website. The general sale will begin Friday, Feb. 23 at 10 a.m. local time, also on the band’s website.

See below for the full tour routing.

The new singles, “Capricorn” and “Gen-X Cops,” included a video built around footage of New York circa 1988 by Only God Was Above Us album art photographer Steven Siegel. See the videos below. The album is out April 5 via Columbia Records. It can be preordered via Amazon Music and other streamers.
