These three new shows accompany the previously announced dates at London’s All Points East on 25 th August 2024 and Meo Kalorama in Lisbon, Portugal. Full dates outlined below. Support at the Glasgow and Cardiff dates comes from Teenage Fanclub.

The extension comes in response to massive demand from fans, following the joint tour’s
critically acclaimed and wildly-successful 2023 dates. That run was entirely sold-out and
included back-to-back shows at NYC’s Madison Square Garden, three nights at LA’s Hollywood Bowl, and marquee dates in many other major cities – bringing 250k+ fans together at iconic arenas and amphitheaters across the US.

This extraordinary live run celebrates the 20 th anniversaries of each band’s seminal 2003 album, The Postal Service’s RIAA Platinum-certified Give Up and Death Cab for Cutie’s RIAA Platinum-certified breakthrough fourth studio LP Transatlanticism – two classics released within a mere eight months of one another, and created with a total recording budget of just $20k.

Benjamin Gibbard, co-founder of both bands, will continue to pull double duty on the 2024
dates, performing Give Up and Transatlanticism in full alongside his respective bandmates.
“Few musicians have released two culture-shifting records in the span of a single year,”
Pitchfork proclaimed within their glowing review of this fall’s first MSG show, “and even less
have done it with two different musical outfits.”

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

The Postal Service is comprised of Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello, and Jenny Lewis; Death Cab for Cutie is comprised of Gibbard, Nick Harmer, Dave Depper, Zac Rae, and Jason McGerr. All upcoming tour dates are enclosed below.
