Hometown Delivery: The Postal Service to Play KeyArena

The platinum-selling Sub Pop act (finally) announces a Seattle stop on its reunion tour.

Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel reunite as the Postal Service.

You didn’t really think Ben Gibbard was going to pass over his hometown as part of the Postal Service reunion tour, did you? Fresh off two weekends of Coachella performances, the electropop duo of Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello announced a July 18 show at KeyArena. (With Paul McCartney, Capitol Hill Block Party, and Sub Pop’s Silver Jubilee already on the calendar, it’s going to be quite a July.)

Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10am at ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

The Postal Service
July 18 at 8, KeyArena, $36–$46
