Over nearly two decades, Vampire Weekend solidified itself as one of the defining musical acts of the aughts and 2010s. With a genre defying sound that playfully teeters the line between alternative rock, raggae and pop, the beloved New York City-raised group continues to attract a cult following. 

This upcoming weekend, the band will make its way to Madison Square Garden. Here's everything you need to know about getting last minute tickets, potential guests and the setlist. 

Are tickets still available for Vampire Weekend in NYC?

When will Vampire Weekend come on stage?

Doors open at 6:30pm and the concert officially starts at 7:30pm. 

Who are the guests on the Vampire Weekend tour?

Vampire Weekend will have three special guests on the MSG dates: Mark Ronson on October 5, Turnstiles and The Brothers Macklovitch on October 6, according to MSG's website
