Vampire Weekend Offer Seattle Two Rain Checks

This is all that Marymoor saw of Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend were scheduled to play a show on Sunday night at Marymoor Park. Then a trip to the ER for severely inflammed vocal cords kept lead singer Ezra Koenig from the stage and resulted in a last-minute cancellation, wails of dispair, conspiracy theories, and a water bottle or two flung in the general direction of the poor guy who brought the bad news.

They've since found time in their merciless tour schedule to return to the area to make up for their unfortunate (and poorly handled) cancellation. This time they'll be within Seattle city limits for two nights at the Paramount on the 22nd and 23rd of September with the Head and the Heart. Ticketholders from the weekend will be able to trade their tickets for their choice of make up shows at no charge; those who opted to skip the outdoor non-performance will have two new chances to see the band. Tickets will cost $48 after all of the fees and handling and can be purchased online now.

If a weekday show doesn't work for your schedule or if the disappointment of waiting around for an hour after Beach House finished soured you on the Vampire Weekend Experience, refunds are available. The details for getting your money back, a regular choose-your-own-adventure based on the how and where of initial purchases, are included after the jump.

ALL TICKETS HELD FOR THE MARYMOOR SHOW CAN BE EXCHANGED at NO COST for the new shows, and current ticketholders will have their choice of days.
