Great news on a few fronts for VAMPIRE WEEKEND fans, namely that those is Sydney and Melbourne who missed out on tickets to both shows have another chance to get their grimy little hands on some!

Due to absolutely colossal demand, with second shows announced and even those selling out within mere minutes – the gig scheduled for Wednesday May 5 at the Palace Theatre in Melbourne has been moved to Festival Hall.

Super plus for those younger fans as this change in venue also means a change to an All Ages show.

Please note that the first Melbourne show for Tuesday May 4 remains at the Palace Theatre and as an 18+ event.

Also being upgraded to a larger venue is the second Sydney show scheduled for Thursday May 13, which will move from the Enmore Theatre to Hordern Pavillion. This will remain an All Ages event.

All tickets previously purchased for both second shows will still be valid and other ticketing info is listed below.
