Just Like Heaven Festival will get a double dose of Ben Gibbard with performances from headliner The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie. The lineup announcement follows the recent news that the bands were extending their co-headlining tour into spring 2024 in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their respective albums Give Up and Transatlanticism. 

“We are thrilled to headline Just Like Heaven,” Gibbard, frontman of both groups, said in a statement. “It’s a great festival and opportunity to bring the 20th anniversary celebration of ‘Give Up’ and ‘Transatlanticism’ back to the Los Angeles area.”
