Vampire Weekend Live Performance of Cousins at Lollapalooza Chile

Venue: Parque O'Higgins Location: Santiago, Región Metropolitana, Chile Date: March 30, 2014

In March 2014, Vampire Weekend performed 'Cousins' at Lollapalooza Chile, a vibrant highlight of their tour. This live recording came shortly after the release of their third studio album, 'Modern Vampires of the City,' which had dropped in May 2013. That album marked a significant maturation in their sound, showcasing deeper lyrical themes and a more refined musical structure. The energy in the Parque O'Higgins as they played 'Cousins' is palpable; it's a song that perfectly embodies their signature blend of upbeat rhythms and clever wordplay. Interestingly, 'Modern Vampires of the City' was well-received, earning them a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2014. This performance at Lollapalooza not only reflected their ascending popularity but also solidified their reputation as one of the leading forces in indie rock at the time.
