Vega Intl. Night School is the third album by American electronic music band Neon Indian. It was announced on August 13, 2015, and was released on October 16, 2015. The album title was an intentional nod to Alan Palomo's other music project, titled VEGA, for which he has produced only a single EP. Noticing that ideas from both Neon Indian and VEGA were merging, Palomo decided to combine the two projects into one and retire the use of the VEGA moniker.
Vega Intl. Night School garnered critical acclaim from music critics, receiving a weighted mean of 79 out of 100 from Metacritic, based on 17 reviews. Praising "the most rewarding of danceable peaks" in record's middle section, Calum Slingerland of Exclaim! wrote that "Palomo's four-year absence has yielded a flashy, fun record with welcome diversity".
