Death Cab for Cutie Announce More Tour Dates

Although Death Cab’s tour supporting last year’s Codes and Keys was expected to come to a halt at the end of June, the group just announced a string of shows in July and a few in August.

These tour dates will replace Magik*Magik orchestra with a handful of different openers, ranging from City and Colour to The Tragically Hip. What are your thoughts on extending the tour? Are Gibbard and the boys beating a dead horse, or is this round two of a tour a breath of fresh air? Check out the tour dates below, and voice your thoughts in the comment section!
