Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service extend 20th anniversary concert tour with 16 new dates

This year, Ben Gibbard commemorated the 20th anniversary of two influential, platinum-certified indie rock albums from his two bands — "Transatlanticism" from Death Cab for Cutie and "Give Up" from The Postal Service — with a co-headlining tour performed in front of more than 250,000 fans.

And the celebration will continue with more shows in 2024.

The bands announced Thursday that they are extending their Give Up & Transatlanticism 20th anniversary tour with 16 new dates across North America, including shows in Atlanta, Nashville, Tennessee, St. Louis and Toronto. Opening for them will be the acclaimed indie-rock band Slow Pulp.

When do Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service tickets go on sale?

Ticket presales begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday, and fans can sign up for access at giveuptransatlanticismtour.com . Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Dec. 8. Prices have yet to be announced.

Released in February 2003, "Give Up" marked the debut and only studio effort to date of The Postal Service, an indie pop supergroup formed by Gibbard and musicians Jimmy Tamborello and Jenny Lewis. The indietronica album, which went on to sell 1 million copies , peaked at No. 3 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart and spent a total of 111 weeks on the roster.

Death Cab for Cutie's fourth album "Tranatlanticism," released in October 2003, signaled a mainstream breakthrough for the indie rock band. The album, which earned the group its first entry on the Billboard 200 chart , helped the band sign a major-label deal with Atlantic Records in 2005 . Some of its songs were also featured on the popular teen drama "The O.C."

Ben Gibbard Is Pulling Double Duty on the Fall’s Hottest Indie Rock Tour

Late last year, Ben Gibbard was staring down a pair of significant milestones: Death Cab for Cutie’s breakthrough album, Transatlanticism , would be turning 20 in 2023, as would Give Up , the lone full-length that Gibbard and electronic artist Jimmy Tamborello released as The Postal Service. Death Cab’s management suggested separate 20th-anniversary tours, but Gibbard envisioned a two-for-one nostalgia jamboree.

Trending on Billboard

Why acts like weezer and blink-182 are becoming touring’s new titans.

For Gibbard, the tour will revisit the most pivotal year of his career. Death Cab, which formed in 1997, famously came close to breaking up in late 2001 after touring and recording at a breakneck pace. The subsequent downtime gave a then-25-year-old Gibbard the space to craft the foundation of Transatlanticism , as well as work with Tamborello on an indie-pop side project by mailing CD-Rs to each other (hence the name The Postal Service).

“All of a sudden, I found myself with a lot of time to meander creatively,” recalls Gibbard, now 47. “I felt very confident, and maybe a little bit cocky. I could musically wander and explore the space, and it was very fruitful for me.”

Give Up turned into a blog-adored cult classic, while Transatlanticism took Death Cab “from indie-rock popular” to “ popular popular,” as Gibbard puts it. Although Give Up peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard 200 and Transatlanticism at No. 97, they’ve earned 1.8 million and 1.1 million equivalent album units, respectively, according to Luminate.

While Death Cab was just on the road in support of its 10th album, 2022’s Asphalt Meadows , the upcoming tour will mark The Postal Service’s first concerts in a decade, since Give Up turned 10. For Gibbard, these Postal Service shows will be slightly different — unlike in 2013, Give Up will be played in order, without B-sides or covers — but performing again with Tamborello and Lewis will be just as fulfilling.

“These are two of my best friends, that I get to spend extended time with on this trip,” says Gibbard. “We get to celebrate this record that we made, that became this kind of lauded moment in indie rock — but also, it’s a celebration of our friendship.”

A version of this story originally appeared in the Aug. 26, 2023, issue of  Billboard.
