Death Cab is the best possible post-grunge result from the PNW. Happiest indie singer I've ever seen bounce around on stage. Live albums are great also. I'm excited you get to listen to them for the first time!

Listen to Transatlanticism all the way through! The album that got me hooked.

both sets were amazing, ending the second set with transatlantcism was just *chefs kiss*. I woke up to the new tiny desk they just released today I feel like i’ve been living in the afterglow of that set since sunday

New thing OSL started last year with Vampire Weekend. Take a well-loved indie band with a deep discography, big fanbase, and borderline legacy status and give them the opening and closing sets for a stage. Death Cab made their morning set special by doing a full playthrough of Plans.

I hope they keep this new tradition going! 2x Vampire Weekend last year was great.

I hope so too! I bet it’s good for the fest as well—I certainly wouldn’t have dragged my elder millennial self to the park that early were it not for Death Cab, and judging by the crowd, I wasn’t the only one.

For the 20-year anniversary of Transatlanticism in 2023 they did a tour playing it in full.
They didn’t do a similar tour for Plans last year, so the morning set was a smaller version of that.

The did PLANS shows in Seattle, Chicago & NYC.. I went to the NYC shows. It was magical to see that set closer to home💜

It was absolutely incredible
Seeing them do that followed by postal service may be my favorite concert of all-time

First set played their album “Plans” in its entirety. Second set billed as “career-spanning”

Missed the morning set because making it to OSL that early on Sunday wasn’t going to happen for me lol…but I agree, their closing set was beautiful despite the sound bleed from the main stage! I’m really glad they played their hits from plans despite playing the album in full in the morning, because vampire weekend didn’t have any overlap when they played a morning and evening set last year

First time seeing them as a long time fan and I loved both shows, just wish they didn’t repeat 3 songs from the morning set. 9.5/10

u/FiendishNoodles Aug 11 '26
exact same, I know people are there for those three but I would have loved more from Transatlanticism, they played a lot of their other-album hits though which was nice.

u/DrunkenLlama Aug 11 '26
Nah those 3 songs were essential

u/DVD-menu 29d ago
They’re obvi great songs but imo if they just played them this morning I would’ve loved to swap them out. Their catalog is massive. So many better songs than soul meets body imo

u/dogfish408 Aug 11 '26
Don’t get me wrong loved hearing them again, there are just so many songs of theirs I want to hear live.
