Pixies have announced the first leg of their 2023 North American headlining tour. The band will hit the road on May 4th at the Fox Theatre in Oakland CA, headlining shows in U.S. western states through to the middle of May. Tickets go on sale this Friday, December 16 at 10:00AM (local) HERE. All dates can be found below.
The tour is in support of the band’s latest album, Doggerel, a mature yet visceral record of gruesome folk, ballroom pop and brutal rock haunted by the ghosts of affairs and indulgences, driven wild by cosmic forces and envisioning digital afterlives where no God has provided one.
As will be the case on these upcoming dates, every Pixies’ show will be different from those they played before and those they will play down the line. Prior to every tour, the Pixies rehearse 90-100 songs from their extensive catalogue, and “the next song” is determined just before its first note is played. Concertgoers can expect the band to perform some of their most beloved and iconic Pixies songs, as well as tracks from Doggerel.
