Ben Gibbard is set to pull double duty on The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie’s 2023 co-headlining tour. During the fall run, the groups will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their respective albums Give Up and Transatlanticism by performing them in full.
Marking the first live performances from The Postal Service in over a decade, the trek will kick off September 8th in Portland, Maine ahead of stops in Boston; New York City; Philadelphia; Seattle; Washington, DC; and more. It will wrap in Los Angeles on October 13th.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, December 16th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. A Live Nation pre-sale will go down one day earlier on Thursday, December 15th (using access code CHEER).
Gibbard will be accompanied by Jimmy Tamborello and Jenny Lewis for The Postal Service performances, with Nick Harmer, Dave Depper, Zac Rae, and Jason McGerr filling out the Death Cab lineup.
“I know for a fact I will never have a year again like 2003,” Gibbard said in a statement. “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.”
While Death Cab has put out new music as recently as September with their latest album, Asphalt Meadows, The Postal Service have only ever put out one studio LP and a 2014 live album titled Everything Will Change.
