Pixies announce intimate North American shows
Pixies recently released their third Kim Deal-less reunion album, Beneath the Eyrie, and now they have announced six relatively intimate North American shows happening this December. A press release says these will be the band’s only US and Canada shows until their “major” North American tour in 2020 (stay tuned for more on that). The tour includes two LA shows, San Francisco, NYC, Boston, and Toronto. Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday (9/27) at 10 AM local time. Here’s more on scalpers and the setlists:
Pixies, a long-time leader in helping to break the ticket scalper stranglehold, will be doing all they can to get their face-value tickets into the hands of their fans and not to ticket scalpers for inflated resale. Pixies have also asked the shows’ promoters to remove any secondary site links and to use their anti-tout teams and technology to help thwart the scalpers. And two, there will be no firm setlist for any of these Pixies shows; their sets, while pulled from nearly 90 songs that the band has rehearsed and is prepared to play, will change from night to night with every number determined just before it’s performed.
The NYC show happens December 9 at Webster Hall (tickets). Pixies are also on a Europe/UK tour as we speak. All dates are listed below.
