Vampire Weekend have been announced as guest editors of free newspaper the Metro for one day only tomorrow. But before you get excited, it's unfortunately not London's Metro - it's published in New York, Philadelphia and Boston.

The New York quartet - consisting of Ezra Koenig, Chris Tomson, Rostam Batmanglij, and Chris Baio - will be "curating a special section devoted to the best foods of New York City", a press statement from the band revealed.

Here's hoping it's written in the style of lead singer Koenig's eclectic Twitter feed, which has gained a cult following for quips such as 'ur watching old Naruto, I'm eating aged prosciutto'.

Watch the video for 'Diane Young' below:

The band return to the UK to head out on a full UK tour this November, supported by Noah & The Whale. The dates are:
Tue 12 November - Birmingham NIA
Wed 13 November - London The O2 Arena
Fri 15 November - Glasgow The Hydro
Sat 16 November Leeds First Direct Arena
Sun 17 November - Manchester Arena
