Death Cab for Cutie Announces Summer Tour Dates

Laura Pearson reports:
Just when I thought that hitting up a few music fests and putting air in my bike tires were sufficient goals for the season, those ambitious dudes from Death Cab for Cutie come along and redefine what it means to make summer 'plans.' Gibbard and co. just announced their upcoming tour schedule, which begins in mid-June on a 700-acre farm in Tennessee (at Bonnaroo) then continues with two weeks of transatlantic headline dates, as well as a bunch of European festivals, including Denmark's legendary Roskilde Festival and Scotland's massive T in the Park fest.

From there, the quartet will hop over to the Land Down Under for more headline dates and the Splendour in the Grass Festival in Byron Bay. Back in the U.S., they'll take a week-long nap before playing Kuyahoga Festival on August 3 in Ohio, along with the Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth, and the Hold Steady. Next up is Lollapalooza in Chicago and the Bleeding Kansas Arts & Music Fest in Lawrence, Kansas. That's a lot of festivals! Death Cab are lucky that they're rock stars, so they don't have to wait in line for the Porta Potty with the rest of us mortals.

DCFC will tour the western U.S. throughout the rest of August, along with the equally busy indie-pop pair Mates of State and another favorite band of "The O.C.", Spoon.

Earlier this month, the band showed up in Atlantic City for VH1 Classic's Decades Rock Live Elvis Costello tribute, contributing versions of "Kinder Murder", and "Accidents Will Happen", as well as a Costello/Ben Gibbard acoustic rendering of "I Will Follow You Into the Dark", which is also Death Cab's next single. Fiona Apple and Billie Joe Armstrong also make appearances on the show, which VH1 is planning to air later this summer.
