Death Cab for Cutie performs at Hayden Homes Amphitheater June 17. 

Death Cab for Cutie brings its “Asphalt Meadows Tour” to Bend on June 17 with special guest Lomelda.

Death Cab’s soft alternative sound attracts fans of all ages. The eight-time Grammy-nominated indie rock group dropped its newest album, “Asphalt Meadows” last month, the 10th in the band’s discography. Guitarist Dave Depper, a 1998 graduate of Bend’s Mountain View High School, will return to his home stage.

Special guest Lomelda is the stage name of indie rock singer-songwriter Hannah Read. According to the Texas-raised performer, the stage name is a made-up word meaning “echo of the stars.”

The presale for the show begins at 10 a.m. Thursday at bendconcerts.com with the password “LOCAL.” General tickets go on sale Friday online and at the Ticket Mill in the Old Mill District.
