Death Cab For Cutie, The Postal Service will hit Phoenix on 2023 tour

Posted

Indie rock titans The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie will join forces for a landmark 20th anniversary co-headline North American tour, which will include a stop in Phoenix.

The live run will see both groups performing their seminal 2003 albums in full — The Postal Service’s RIAA platinum-certified “Give Up” and Death Cab for Cutie’s RIAA gold-certified breakthrough fourth studio LP “Transatlanticism” — two classics released within eight months of one another that year.

The bands will make a Phoenix stop at Arizona Financial Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix, on Oct. 3, 2023. Pre-sales begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14 and continue through Thursday, Dec. 15 at 10 p.m.

All remaining tickets will be released to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 16 at ticketmaster.com.

Benjamin Gibbard, the co-founder of both bands, will pull double duty throughout the tour, performing with The Postal Service as well as with Death Cab for Cutie.

“I know for a fact I will never have a year again like 2003,” Gibbard  shared 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.”

The upcoming tour will mark the first live performances from The Postal Service in more than a decade, following 2013’s hugely successful 10-year anniversary reunion tour for “Give Up,” an album which still stands today as Sub Pop’s second highest-selling album in the label’s history, second only to Nirvana’s “Bleach.”

Eight-time Grammy-nominees Death Cab for Cutie are currently celebrating the release of their acclaimed 10th studio album, “Asphalt Meadows.”
