Just announced: Vampire Weekend will make their Hollywood Bowl debut on September 26th, headlining a show that will be opened by Beach House and The Very Best, both of which will also make their bow on the famed Bowl stage. Touring in support of their successful sophomore effort Contra, Vampire Weekend joins the ranks of several other high-profile alt-rock outfits who will make a stop at the Bowl this season. Tickets for this performance will go on sale on May 2nd online and at the Bowl Box Office, and will be available by phone on May 11th (if there's any left!). Post-Coachella, Twitter has been abuzz with people hoping Muse will land at the Bowl. Who would you like to see there this summer?
