The Pixies will bring their 2025 North American Tour to Phoenix next summer.
Shortly after the tour kicks off in Las Vegas, the alt/rock pioneers will perform two shows downtown at The Van Buren on June 16 and 17.
The tour is in support of Pixies’ new album, “The Night The Zombies Came,” released Oct. 25, via BMG, and will see the band – Black Francis/guitar, vocals; Joey Santiago/guitar; David Lov-ering/drums, and new bassist, Emma Richardson – perform two different sets over two consecutive nights in 12 U.S. and two Canadian cities — the entire “Bossanova” and “Trompe Le Monde” albums on night one, and night two, classics from the band’s deep catalog, plus songs from the new album.
Support across all shows will come from Kurt Vile + The Violators.
Tickets will be available for purchase at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 1 at www.pixiesmusic.com.
Produced by Gil Norton (who also produced Pixies’ Platinum-selling “Doolittle”), “Bossanova” was released in 1990 and featured the singles “Allison” (a tribute to jazz and blues pianist Mose Allison), “Dig for Fire,” and “Velouria,” that reached #4 on Billboard’s Alternative chart).
The Pixies’ 1991 album, “Trompe Le Monde,” bookended a run of landmarked records. Translated from French to mean “fool the world,” “Trompe Le Monde” was recorded between Burbank, Paris, and London with producer Gil Norton again at the controls.
