LOS ANGELES, CA - Tuesday, March 28, 2023 — For the first time since 2018, indie rock kingpins Pixies, will be heading out on a massive, multi-leg, 40-plus date North American tour, the finale for the band’s 2022-2023 World Tour.  Pixies’ World Tour launched in March 2022, concludes in September 2023, and has seen the band play sold out shows across North America, the UK, Europe, South America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.  

 

Pixies’ 2023 North American run kicks off on May 4 in Oakland, CA and concludes in Southern California mid-September.  Over the course of the three legs, Pixies will share the stages with Slow Pulp, Pond, Franz Ferdinand, Bully, Modest Mouse, and Cat Power.  Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased here: https://bnds.us/ziwfqx

 

Pixies' 2022-2023 World Tour is in support of the band’s latest album Doggerel (BMG) about which the NME reported “is the most inventive since their reunion nearly two decades ago.”  American Songwriter’s Alli Patton wrote, "The Pixies’ new album, Doggerel is ominous, haunting, and gruesome, heavy with treacherous sounds that indulge in an equal softness. The drums punch and the bass slinks along in a mucky mire of a beat, but those harsh sounds are met with a cosmic velvet, a cushy patchwork of breath and light. The album is Medieval in the Space Age. It’s a somber march to the executioner’s block and a celestial trek among the Pleiades. Doggerel’s lyrics are whimsical but insightful in the Pixies’ irreverent songwriting fashion. Charming and yet still sagely.”

 

Pixies’ concerts are well-known for being “one-of-a-kind,” as the band has no pre-determined set lists, the “next song” is the one that “feels right," so you’ll never see the same show twice.  And the song choices go deep, as the band - Black Francis/guitar, vocals, Joey Santiago/guitar, David Lovering/drums, background vocals, and Paz Lenchantin/bass, background vocals) come on to every stage prepared to play any of the 90-100 songs they've rehearsed.
