Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab for Cutie opens a new chapter in 2026, returning closer to its indie roots with a signing to ANTI- Records and songs in the works. The band stops in Paris on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Élysée Montmartre for a one-off date in France. Led by Ben Gibbard’s distinctive voice, the quartet pairs melodic guitars, understated keyboards and restrained rhythms — a signature forged since the late 1990s and refined across albums such as Transatlanticism, Plans, Narrow Stairs and Asphalt Meadows.

This concert represents a transitional stage: Death Cab for Cutie will unveil material still in development while revisiting the songs that have defined its trajectory, from Kintsugi and Thank You for Today to the earlier, more lo-fi years. Between Nick Harmer’s bass lines and the precise arrangements born of long studio and stage work, the set highlights introspective, direct songwriting true to the band’s spirit. A Parisian appointment that condenses the immediate past and a new cycle into a tight format without gratuitous effects.
