Indie rock legends Death Cab for Cutie return to Melbourne this November, showcasing all their hits alongside material from their new album, I Built You A Tower.

With 3 decades and 10 acclaimed studio albums under their belt, the band is revered for their distinctive sound – remaining as in demand and influential as ever.

Death Cab for Cutie head into 2026 with their new single “Riptides,” and a massive run of US tour dates from July, before embarking on their exclusive Australian shows – their first in more than 7 years.

American indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie deliver melodic songwriting, introspective lyricism and enduring influence that define 21st century alternative music. Formed in 1997 in Bellingham, Washington, the band emerged as an underdog college-radio act led by Ben Gibbard’s heartfelt, literate writing. Influenced by artists like The Smiths and Elliott Smith, they broke into the mainstream with Transatlanticism, featuring “The Sound of Settling” and “Title and Registration”.

Across nearly 3 decades, Death Cab for Cutie have evolved into pillars of modern indie rock, with a catalogue spanning 10 studio albums and multiple GRAMMY nominations. As they enter a new era with fresh music on the way, the band continue to connect through honest storytelling and timeless songwriting that resonates across generations.
