The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie Extend 20th Anniversary Tour
Ben Gibbard‘s double-duty shift is continuing into the new year. On Thursday, the bands he fronts — The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie — announced that they have extended their co-headlining tour in the new year.
The two bands performed the albums they released in 2003 — Death Cab’s Transatlanticism and the Postal Service’s influential Give Up — on each tour date. They’ll do the same on the new dates.
The tour will commence on April 23 in Atlanta, before stopping in cities such as Nashville, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Milwaukee, Kansas City, and Salt Lake City. They’ll end their tour in Portland, Oregon on May 15. (They also tease a TBA date in London.)
“I know for a fact I will never have a year again like 2003. The Postal Service record came out, Transatlanticism came out,” Gibbard said in a press release. “These two records will be on my tombstone, and I’m totally fine with that. I’ve never had a more creatively inspired year.”
Slow Pulp joins the groups as an opener on all of the U.S. and Canada dates. Presale ticekts go on sale Dec. 6 at 10 a.m. local time, before they go on sale for the general public on Dec. 8 at 10 a.m.
The Postal Service is comprised of Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello, and Jenny Lewis; Death Cab for Cutie includes members Gibbard, Nick Harmer, Dave Depper, Zac Rae, and Jason McGerr.
