Vampire Weekend have unveiled ‘Weekend At The Garden,’ the third installment in their vinyl-only live series Frog On The Bass Drum. The limited edition double LP captures the band’s sold-out two-show takeover of Madison Square Garden in October 2024, with disc one drawn from the Saturday night performance and disc two documenting the Sunday matinee. Pressed by Third Man Records and limited to 3,000 copies, the release preserves a landmark moment with the scale, looseness, and crowd energy that defined the weekend.
Frog On The Bass Drum has become a home for extended ideas and live-only moments, following Volume 1’s ten-minute take on “Jokerman” by Bob Dylan and Volume 2’s doubled-up rendition of “Bambina” from Milan. Subscribers also receive a limited edition pennant and a new issue of The Quarterly Report written by the band, adding context and texture beyond the grooves. ‘Weekend At The Garden’ stands as a focused snapshot of Vampire Weekend in full command of a massive room, shaped by the momentum of the Only God Was Above Us Tour and the rare electricity of a one-night-and-one-matinee run.
