Seven years later, Death Cab return with new music and a tight run of east coast shows
After more than seven years off Aussie stages, Death Cab for Cutie are officially making their return this November.
The band will touch down for a short run of east coast dates, kicking things off at Hordern Pavilion on November 12, before heading to Margaret Court Arena on November 13 and wrapping at Fortitude Music Hall on November 15.
This time around, they’re bringing both the catalogue and something new. Their upcoming album I Built You A Tower lands June 5, with recent single ‘Riptides’ offering a first taste of where they’re heading next.
Across three decades and ten studio albums, Death Cab have built a reputation for pairing melancholy with melody – the kind of band that can still pull a crowd singing every word back at them.
These shows are expected to lean into that balance: new material woven through the staples.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, April 21 at 2pm (local time), with presales kicking off earlier for those keen to lock it in.

For a band that’s quietly shaped indie rock for decades, this one feels big – new record, familiar weight, and finally back in the room with an Australian crowd.
