Pixies have just released their tenth studio album The Night the Zombies Came to critical acclaim, with MOJO saying, "This most thrillingly deathly of bands remains alive" and DIY stating, "Pixies remain one of the most consistent, influential bands on the planet".
Pixies wowed UK fans in August with their mainstage performance at London’s All Points East, described as “raucous” by Rolling Stone UK after their sold-out Glasgow Academy show was tipped as “a full-on head rush of classics" by the Scottish Sun and "as relevant in 2024 as they were over 35 years ago" by Glasgow World.
35 years since their groundbreaking Platinum-certified album Doolittle catapulted the band into the UK Top Ten, and 20 years since their celebrated reformation at Coachella, Pixies are deep into their second act, and in the midst of a creative purple patch.
