The band’s global breakthrough came with “Transatlanticism,” a platinum-certified release later named by NPR as one of the decade’s most important recordings.
Eight-time Grammy-nominated indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie has announced their summer headlining tour with a stop at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on Thursday, Aug. 6. Tickets go on sale on Friday, Jan. 30, at 10 a.m. PT on AXS.com.
The news is in tandem with DCFC joining the ANTI-family for future music releases alongside indie stalwarts M.J. Lenderman, Fleet Foxes and Waxahatchee and legends including Tom Waits, Mavis Staples and Neko Case.
This tour is on the heels of a sold-out global tour marking the 20th anniversary of the album “Transatlanticism” and the release of their 10th studio effort, “Asphalt Meadows,” which marked their last performance at the venue.
Formed in Bellingham, Wash., in 1997, Death Cab for Cutie emerged as one of the defining bands of their era propelled by the emotionally incisive songwriting of co-founder, vocalist, guitarist and primary songwriter Benjamin Gibbard.
The band’s global breakthrough came with “Transatlanticism,” a platinum-certified release later named by NPR as one of the decade’s most important recordings. Their 2005 major-label debut “Plans” pushed them to even greater prominence, earning platinum status and their first Grammy nominations.
Subsequent albums – including “Narrow Stairs,” “Codes and Keys” and Kintsugi, continued to expand their sonic palette while securing a total of eight Grammy nominations and cementing their critical and cultural standing.
