Vampire Weekend have been treating their fans with various covers while touring across the United States in recent weeks.

It happened again during their recent show in Cleveland, as the American rockers decided to do their own version of Crowded House’s 1986 classic “Don’t Dream It’s Over.”

This proved to be a really popular choice with the fans, who engaged in a sing-along with frontman Ezra Koenig. Watch Vampire Weekend’s rendition of “Don’t Dream It’s Over” below.

Vampire Weekend is currently on the road to support their recent album Father of the Bride, which topped the US Billboard 200 charts back in May. During their trip, the band did several covers, including Laura Branigan’s 1982’s anthem “Gloria.”

They also incorporated Parks And Recreation theme song into their track “M79” during a live show in Indiana.

The group will tour North America until October when they are set to play several shows in Mexico before heading out to Europe in November.

Vampire Weekend recently took part in BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge and decided to treat us with an intriguing cover of Post Malone and Swae Lee’s hit track “Sunflower.” This was a fitting choice by American indie rockers, considering the fact that they also have a song titled “Sunflower,” which will be part of their upcoming Father of the Bride.

Hear the cover below.

The band also performed “Harmony Hall,” which serves as the lead single for their upcoming record.

Father of the Bride will be Vampire Weekend’s fourth studio album, serving as a follow up to 2013’s Modern Vampires of the City. The record is scheduled for release on May 3, 2019 with the band already presenting singles “Harmony Hall,” “2021,” “Sunflower,” and “Big Blue.”

Following the album’s release, the band will embark on a massive tour across North America, which will be their first since 2014. They will kick off the trip on May 17th with a show on Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores and will perform through June, August, September and early October before wrapping up the tour in Denver on October 8th.

Anyone who attended the recent GQ LIVE event in Los Angeles was in for a pleasant surprise. After Vampire Weekend’s frontman Ezra Koenig did an interview with the influential magazine, he decided to round up the rest of the band and throw a surprise live gig.

During the set, the New York City rock trio decided to do a cover of Bob Dylan’s 1983 hit “Jokerman,” which turned out to be a popular decision among the audience. They topped this exciting performance by playing a cover of Honeycombs’ “Have I The Right,” and their “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,” hit from their self-titled album from 2008.

You can hear Vampire Weekend’s cover of “Jokerman,” as well as the performance of the other two songs, in the videos below.

“Jokerman” was featured as the single and opening track for Bob Dylan’s 1983 album Infidels. Although it failed to chart and wasn’t a success early on, the track ended up being one of Dylan’s most appreciated tracks in retrospective.

Ezra Koenig seems to be especially fond of this song since he did not only cover it with Vampire Weekend but also interviewed the creator of the ’90s Jokerman font Andrew Smith for his Apple Music show, Time Crisis. As you can guess, the title of this episode was Jokerman.
