Austin is gearing up for an out-of-this-world music-meets-astronomy event as indie rockers Vampire Weekend are set to perform during the much-anticipated total solar eclipse on April 8. Bringing their eclectic beats to the Moody Amphitheater, the band promises a noon concert perfectly timed with the celestial spectacle that'll plunge the city into darkness at exactly 1:32 p.m.

According to a report by the Austin American Statesman, this Austin gig marks the first non-festival appearance for the New Yorkers on their 2024 calendar. Vampire Weekend isn't just falling back onto their old hits for this show. Coinciding with the release of their new album "Only God Was Above Us," the eclipse concert will serve as both a listening party and a live performance.

The band's chart-topping history is no stranger to success, with "Father of the Bride," their last album, hitting number one on the Billboard 200 and bagging a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Announcing their new album set to drop on April 5, just days before the solar event, Vampire Weekend's orbit seems poised for another bright streak in the music universe.

KVUE notes the practical side, revealing that fans will be given eclipse glasses to safely enjoy the blackout moment while rocking out to tunes. Tickets for the out-of-this-world experience will be up for grabs starting from 10 a.m. on Feb. 13, but they'll be available via Ticketmaster for those eager to secure their spot under the darkened Austin sky.

For those less entranced by the idea of "A-Punk" under a pitch-black sun and more by the eclipse itself, alternative viewing locations are going around like candy during Halloween. So whether you're down for the beats or just here for the cosmic treat, Austin is evidently the place to came April 8.
