Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service have announced a co-headlining tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their respective 2003 albums, Transatlanticism and Give Up. Lead singer Ben Gibbard will perform double duty fronting both bands as they perform each album in its entirety.
“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.”
