The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie had quite a successful tour in 2023. Luckily for fans who may have missed them, the two co-headliners recently announced an extension of their current tour well into 2024. The tour will span multiple countries, including the United States, Canada, England, and Portugal. The only supporting acts announced thus far are the indie-rock group Slow Pulp.

The tour will be a celebration of Death Cab For Cutie’s hit album Transatlanticism from 2003 and The Postal Service’s Give Up, also released in 2003. Both bands are fronted by singer/songwriter and guitarist Benjamin Gibbard. The Give Up & Transatlanticism 20th Anniversary Tour will begin on April 23 in Atlanta, Georgia at the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre and close on August 31 in Lisbon, Portugal at Meo Kalorama. However, it is highly speculated that more tour dates will be announced in the coming months.
According to Benjamin Gibbard, the tour will celebrate the two albums that came out during his most creative professional year to date. “I know for a fact I will never have a year again like 2003,” said Gibbard in a press release for the tour, “The Postal Service record came out; Transatlanticism came out. These two records will be on my tombstone, and I’m totally fine with that. I’ve never had a more creatively inspired year.”
Fans can still get their hands on tickets through StubHub, which is a great option if a particular tour date sells out or is close to selling out, as it is a guaranteed and protected third-party ticketing platform.
Death Cab for Cutie was formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997. The band has been lauded for their evocative lyrics and melodic compositions. Their music, often categorized under indie rock, features introspective themes and a subtle blend of acoustic and electronic elements. They’re known for Transantlanticism, but their recent 2022 release Asphalt Meadows was a hit with the single “Here To Forever”.
The Postal Service is a collaboration between Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and producer Jimmy Tamborello. The group emerged in 2001 as a groundbreaking electronica outfit. Their work is characterized by a fusion of indie pop and electronic music, marked by Gibbard’s reflective songwriting and Tamborello’s innovative production techniques. Give Up is their only studio album, though the band has also released a live album and a number of remixes.
The upcoming 20th Anniversary Tour represents a convergence of their respective musical journeys, offering fans an unparalleled experience that blends Death Cab for Cutie’s poignant indie rock with The Postal Service’s innovative electronic pop. Elder millennials (and fans of all other ages, of course) in need of a bit of nostalgia will not want to miss it.
Tour dates are selling out quickly, especially those in April. Grab your tickets while they’re hot!
