Death Cab for Cutie return to the road this summer with a new run of North American tour dates. The indie rock favorites also begin a new chapter with a fresh recording partnership that signals the next phase of their long-running career. The announcement places Ben Gibbard and company back in motion with shows scheduled across the United States and Canada.
“We are thrilled to be joining the roster at ANTI- which includes some of our favorite artists, old friends and in many cases, both,” Gibbard said in a statement. “We also can’t wait to begin this new chapter with the wonderful staff at ANTI- and share with you what we’ve been working on.” The message lands as the group prepares to bring their catalog back to stages across the continent.
Death Cab for Cutie remain one of indie rock’s most enduring names, known for emotionally charged songwriting and expansive live performances. The new tour stretches from Denver to California with stops at major theaters and amphitheaters. Along the way, the group shares stages with Jay Som, Japanese Breakfast, and Nation of Language on select dates.
The schedule includes two nights at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and a major Canadian stop at Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre. Each show adds another chapter to a catalog that has defined the modern indie landscape for more than two decades.
