Vampire Weekend / Ye Vagabonds – Only God Was Above Us tour, 3Arena Dublin 29.11.2024

American rock band Vampire Weekend hit Dublin’s 3Arena on their Only God Was Above Us tour that has dates all across the UK and Europe. I t may have been cold outside in Dublin on the night, but once the guys hit that stage things heated up inside the 3Arena.
The band choosing to open the set with just 3 of them front of stage as a large curtain with Vampire Weekend in large white letters hung behind them.

This was the setting for the first three tracks and a half tracks and then the curtain was dropped and a full band was revealed and the show picked up pace.
Opening act on the night were the brothers that play under the banner of Ye Vagabonds.
