They'll perform together in New York this Wednesday

Vampire Weekend and Chromeo are set to team up this Wednesday (November 12) in New York - when they will perform together onstage at the MTVu Woodie Awards at Roseland Ballroom.

The New York-based acts will perform Vampire Weekend's 'The Kids Don't Stand A Chance', taken from their self-titled debut album released earlier this year.

Also due to collaborate on the night are Cool Kids and Asher Roth, who will join forces to perform Roth's 'I Love College' and Cool Kids' 'The Delivery Man'.

Lykke Li, Santogold and All Time Low will also perform at the event, which will be attended by Paramore, Kid Sister, Moby, Debbie Harry and more.

The Woodie Awards are voted for by college students across America and are presented by MTVu, the network’s university station for students. Over 5.2 million votes were placed online by college students for this year’s awards.
