Vampire Weekend to play Nashville on 2019 tour

After a long hiatus, indie rock titans Vampire Weekend are set to emerge with their first album in six years — and a new tour, which will bring them back to Nashville for the first time since 2013.

The band's "Father of the Bride" tour will stop at Nashville's Ascend Amphitheater on June 18. Tickets go on sale at noon Friday, February 8.

The band — led by melodic mastermind Ezra Koenig — has previously played sold-out shows at the Ryman Auditorium in 2010 and 2013. Their last album, "Modern Vampires of the City," won the Grammy for Best Alternative Album, and their 2008 debut was recently certified platinum in the U.S.

"Father of the Bride" is their fourth album, and has an unspecified spring release date.
