Death Cab for Cutie Tour Australia Again

Death Cab for Cutie must love Australia. After touring here last August, they’ve announced they’ll do it all again in February.

But it’s easy to understand why this American indie outfit has embraced Oz. We sent their latest album Narrow Stairs straight into the ARIA top ten, and we bought even tickets for their last gigs that the shows sold out.

Many artists would move to much bigger venues to accommodate the demand, but Death Cab for Cutie are determined to give their fans the intimate shows they love. Of course that means tickets won’t last, so make sure you buy yours when they go on sale on Friday January 9.

Here are the dates for the latest Death Cab for Cutie tour!

19 February 2008 – Fremantle Arts Centre (18 +, but minors are permitted with an adult)
22 February 2008 – Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide (All ages)
23 and 24 February 2008 – Forum Theatre, Melbourne (18+)
26 February 2008 – Enmore Theatre, Sydney (All ages)
28 February 2008 – Tivoli Theatre, Brisbane (18+)

Death Cab For Cutie Announce Aussie Tour

Seattle’s Death Cab for Cutie is making a pit stop in Australia during their massive world tour. It’s good news for all those fans that helped their latest album Narrow Stairs debut at number six on the ARIA chart.

Their last Aussie tour in 2006 sold out, so fans will need to grab their tickets fast. All the venues are fairly small for a band of this stature, so those who do manage to snare tickets are in for a real treat.

You can get yours when they go on sale at 9 am this Friday 30 May. Heatseeker are handling the Fremantle show, OzTix are taking care of Melbourne, and Ticketek are selling the rest.

Here are the dates!

17 August 2008 – The Palace, Melbourne
18 August 2008 – Enmore Theatre, Sydney
20 August 2008 – Metropolis, Fremantle
22 August 2008 – The Tivoli, Brisbane
