“As we bring the Transatlanticism / Give Up Tour to a close, I want you all to know that getting the opportunity to perform these two albums live has been one of the greatest thrills and honors of my entire life. On behalf of Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service; Thank you so much for coming out and singing along. We will see you all again somewhere down the road.” – Benjamin Gibbard
The Postal Service has confirmed that the final date of the wildly successful and critically celebrated Transatlanticism / Give Up Tour — this Saturday, September 21 at HFStival in Washington DC — will mark the beginning of an indefinite hiatus for the band.
Since making their long awaited return to stages last September, The Postal Service have toured across North America, the UK and Spain, drawing nearly half a million fans to one unforgettable show after another — including a pair of sold-out shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, three sold-out nights at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and more recently, headlining the closing night of the All Points East festival in London.
“In the crowd, tears are shed, clusters of people dance, and memories are rekindled. The show as a whole serves as a reminder of Gibbard’s endurance, too.” – The Independent Extended into 2024 by popular demand, this extraordinary run celebrated the 20th anniversaries of both The Postal Service’s lone masterpiece Give Up and Death Cab for Cutie’s breakthrough Transatlanticism – two RIAA Platinum-certified indie classics released in 2003 within a mere eight months of one another, and created with a total recording budget of just $20k.
