Vampire Weekend and Arctic Monkeys Cancel European Dates

Vampire Weekend Cancel Shows Arctic Monkeys Postponed

Vampire Weekend will not play previously scheduled shows in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The New York smart-pop ensemble didn’t give a specific reason in their announcement, posted to Facebook: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, our shows in Sweden, Norway and Denmark have been canceled. Refunds will be made available at the point of purchase. We sincerely apologize to our fans, and look forward to making it back to you soon.”

While the fans flock to outdo one another in emoji sadness over there, they might also extend some sympathy to Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner. The man has been hit with laryngitis mid-tour, leading to last week’s postponements of U.K. shows in Glasgow, Birmingham, and Sheffield. Now the AM crew are rescheduling Monday’s German date (November 4) as well, according to NME. See below for the rescheduled gigs.

Bummed about Vampire Weekend? Watch the band’s recent split set with Grizzly Bear for PBS’ Austin City Limits series. Pop starlet Sky Ferreira, whose debut album Night Time, My Time is out now, was forced to leave an earlier branch of the VW tour due to that scourge of overused vocal chords everywhere, nodes. Let Arctic Monkeys play us out with “One for the Road.”
