THE POSTAL SERVICE Confirm New Tour Dates
By: Caryn Robbins Feb. 19, 2013
With half a dozen shows and counting already sold out--including New York's Barclays Center Arena where a second date has been added by popular demand--The Postal Service has announced nearly 20 more additional headline engagements to the tour commemorating the April 9 release of its Give Up (Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition) on Sub Pop.
Pre-sale tickets for the new dates will be available directly from The Postal Service at http://bit.ly/PstlSrvc beginning Wednesday, February 20 at 10am local venue time for all--except for June 11 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto (pre-sale starts February 25), Columbia MD (pre-sale starts March 6) and Vancouver (pre-sale starts April 3). By purchasing tickets through this pre-sale fans will gain early access to tickets and save money on ticketing fees.
The Postal Service 10th anniversary tour will reunite Postal Service principals Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello with Jenny Lewis (Jenny & Johnny, Rilo Kiley), who appeared on the original album and played with the band on its 2003 dates. Lewis also sings on the two new songs on Give Up (Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition). Laura Burhenn (Mynabirds, Bright Eyes) rounds out the 2013 touring lineup.
The Postal Service and Sub Pop Records' pre-order for Give Up (Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition) is live now, with configurations including a limited 3-LP edition on red, clear and white vinyl available through subpop.com and postalservicemusic.net. All pre-orders will immediately receive a download of the previously unreleased single "A Tattered Line of String."
Give Up was certified platinum last year just shy of 10 years from its original February 9, 2003 release. Led by the single "Such Great Heights," the landmark album is, after Nirvana's Bleach,the second-biggest selling album in Sub Pop's nearly 25-year history.
