Vampire Weekend’s long-awaited follow-up to 2013’s Modern Vampires in the City is coming soon. On December 8, Ezra Koenig will discuss the band's music at a “GQ LIVE” event at Neuehouse Hollywood in Los Angeles. Find more information on the event here.

It’s been a long time coming for Vampire Weekend’s fourth album, which Koenig confirmed this summer was completed and being mastered. He even played fans some new songs directly from his phone.

Update: GQ has removed any references to Vampire Weekend's upcoming album in their announcement of the event. The announcement had previously indicated that the album was due for release in 2019, but that was unconfirmed.
