Fans can expect a career-spanning set packed with the hits, alongside fresh material from their upcoming album <em>I Built You A Tower<\/em>, landing June 5.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Death Cab for Cutie \u2013 \u2018Riptides\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The tour arrives as the band step into a new era, already teasing what\u2019s to come with recent single <em>Riptides<\/em> (above) and if history\u2019s anything to go by, you can expect plenty of feelings, introspection, and at least one moment where you stare into the middle distance reconsidering your entire life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Frontman Ben Gibbard says the drive to keep creating hasn\u2019t faded, even after nearly three decades in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI just love the feeling of being in a room having just made something that I\u2019m proud of,\u201d he said. \u201cI

have grown from cult college-radio favourites into one of the defining indie bands of the 21st century \u2013 the kind of band that soundtracked your first heartbreak, your second heartbreak, and probably a late-night existential spiral somewhere in between.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, they\u2019re bringing it all back to Aussie stages for a very overdue reunion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Peep the details down below.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\">DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE 2026 AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES<\/h3>\n<ul
