Indie greats Death Cab for Cutie announce tour stopping in Houston
Death Cab for Cutie is touring in support of their new album, I Built You A Tower.
Death Cab for Cutie, one of the most iconic groups in indie rock, has announced a new headlining tour in support of their newest album, I Built You A Tower. The tour will stop at Houston's 713 Music Hall on March 22, 2027.
The North American tour follows other tour legs in the UK, Europe, Japan, and Australia. It starts January 19 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and ends April 16 in Asheville, North Carolina. In addition to Houston, the tour will stop in Austin on March 23 and Dallas on March 24.
Death Cab for Cutie has been active since 1997 and now have 11 studio albums and eight Grammy nominations under their belts. The group first became known for its introspective and poetic songwriting and was at the forefront of indie rock as it emerged as a genre.
All three Texas tour dates will have support from Australian indie band Swapmeet, who have a career stretching back to 2022.
More than 20 years after Death Cab's last truly independent album, Transatlanticism, they've left the major label Atlantic Records and re-established their indie credentials with Anti-, through which they released I Built You A Tower on June 5, 2026. The band — Benjamin Gibbard, Nicholas Harmer, Jason McGerr, Dave Depper and Zac Rae — retain their core character as immortalized on albums that won mainstream success like Narrow Stairs and Codes and Keys.
Ticket sales begin with an artist presale Wednesday, September 23, at 10 am. Local presales start Thursday, September 24, followed by a general on-sale Friday, September 25. Fans sign up for updates connected to their local tour stop at deathcabforcutie.com.
Along with the tour announcement, Death Cab shared a new lyric video for "Stone Over Water."
“I normally animate music videos for my own songs, but I found this song incredibly personal, even though it wasn’t mine," said musician and animator Sean Solomon in a press release. "I think everyone can relate to the little man in the video having a bad day. But I wanted the video to ultimately have a positive message even though it’s sad. Everyone is going through something, and sometimes helping others can be a way to get out of our own heads and remember we’re not alone.”
