Death Cab for Cutie, the Grammy-nominated indie-rock institution whose emotive songwriting helped define the genre in the 2000s, are set to play two nights in Los Angeles, on Sunday, August 2 and Monday, August 3 at The Greek Theatre, with Nation of Language in support.
The shows are part of the band’s I Built You A Tower World Tour, supporting their eleventh studio album of the same name, released June 5, 2026 via Anti- and produced by John Congleton. The record, preceded by the singles “Riptides” and “Punching the Flowers,” marks the band’s move to Anti-, home to artists including Fleet Foxes and Waxahatchee.
Led by Ben Gibbard, Death Cab for Cutie began in the late 1990s as a solo project before expanding into one of indie rock’s defining bands. Their 2005 major-label debut Plans earned the group their first Grammy nomination and produced enduring singles like “Soul Meets Body” and the beloved “I Will Follow You Into the Dark,” cementing a catalog steeped in bittersweet, literate songwriting.
Across more than two decades and albums including Transatlanticism, Narrow Stairs and Thank You for Today, the band has maintained a devoted following and a reputation for emotionally resonant live shows. For Los Angeles audiences, the two Greek Theatre nights offer a career-spanning experience in one of the city’s most beloved open-air settings, with acclaimed synth-pop act Nation of Language opening both evenings.
