The Postal Service & Death Cab For Cutie - Give Up & Transatlanticism 20 Year Celebration Tour • Page 5

All of those openers are great, but I'm stoked my date got Warpaint! One of those acts I just assumed would blow up years ago but never did. Their new album is great too.

 

Looks like I get The Beths when I go to Seattle.

 

Getting built to spill, which is nice, but I'd prefer Warpaint

 

But for real, can we talk about how bad the art on this tour flyer is?

 

Santa Barbara show announced

 

Additional Chicago show announced

 

Oh wow, Lauren Mayberry opening the Boston shows! Missed out on tickets to her headlining show so that’s a pretty sweet bonus

 

Pedro The Lion is opening the Santa Barbara date which is amazing. Kinda wish I was going to that show instead. But I’m still stoked for my show and to see Built To Spill again!

 

For that 2nd Chicago show you have to request tickets there will be no general on sale also they are expensive as fuck for a salt shed show

 

Saw those prices and said fuck no.

 

You’re better off just getting a single-day pass to Riot. Not sure what the reasoning for that pricing is

 

Because resale tickets on other dates are $150+ each

 

I wish Pedro was playing MSG

 

honestly for me preferring the salt shed show is not necessarily about whether it’s more than a riot fest ticket. I’d just rather enjoy those two albums in a more chill environment than a festival. Sadly the ticket prices of $85 is cheaper than a riot fest 1 day pass until all the fees. Which is gross.

 

Unfortunately, with the price points, I think both environments are going to be shit.

 

Cool interview with Ben about the tour and the two albums. He seems to imply that both bands will be playing together as one big set, as opposed to two separate sets

I have to be so honest and share that I had absolutely no idea that Jenny Lewis was in the Postal Service until I read that article the other day

 

Same, only when I saw Jenny Lewis open for Death Cab and came out to do a Postal Service down and everyone lost their shit

 

Same lol. I thought she only collaborated with them. I didn’t know she was a full-on member

 

Im pretty sure she was just a guest vocalist on a few songs on the album, but when they toured in 2013 they brought her on as a full time member.

 

Collaborative set confirmed

 

Odd they split their sets at Riot

 

I thought the same thing. Wonder how TPS will fill their hour? The album plus bonus tracks?

 

If they finish early that works for me as I need to catch Braid and Thursday at Metro that night

 

Based on the Postal Service's live album, might be album + Be Still My Heart + Tattered Line of String + (This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan.
