Pixies announce 2023 UK and European tour

Tickets go on sale later this week.

By Tom Skinner

Pixies have announced a UK and European headline tour for 2023. The alt-rock Boston band are due to release their eighth studio album, Doggerel , on September 30 via BMG ( pre-order/pre-save here ). Early next year, they’ll hit the road for a run of concerts across Europe and the United Kingdom. Pixies will begin the stint in Stockholm on February 21 before making further stops in Oslo (February 22), Copenhagen (25), Berlin (26) and other cities throughout that month and into March. The group are scheduled to touch down in the UK on March 17, when they’ll take to the stage at the Forum in Birmingham. Gigs will then follow at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff (March 18) and the Roundhouse in north London (20/21). Tickets go on general sale at 8am BST/ 9am CEST this Friday (September 30) –  you’ll be able to purchase yours here . Check out the full UK/European live itinerary in the announcement post below.

DOGGEREL • EUROPE & UK 2023 Tickets are on-sale on Friday at 9am CEST / 8am UK. Set your reminders: https://t.co/faZ7LNoPRc pic.twitter.com/DIxV3JW2nn — PIXIES (@PIXIES) September 27, 2022

Pixies announced the forthcoming Doggerel back in April, and have already shared three singles from the record: ‘Vault of Heaven’, ‘Dregs of the Wine’ and ‘There’s a Moon On’. You can see the full tracklist beneath. 01. ‘Nomatterday’ 02. ‘Vault of Heaven’ 03. ‘Dregs of the Wine’ 04. ‘Haunted House’ 05. ‘Get Simulated’ 06. ‘The Lord Has Come Back Today’ 07. ‘Thunder & Lightning’ 08. ‘There’s a Moon On’ 09. ‘Pagan Man’ 10. ‘Who’s More Sorry Now?’ 11. ‘You’re Such a Sadducee’ 12. ‘Doggerel’

Describing the album, the follow-up to 2019’s Beneath the Eyrie , frontman Black Francis said: “We’re trying to do things that are very big and bold and orchestrated. The punky stuff, I really like playing it but you just cannot artificially create that shit. There’s another way to do this, there’s other things we can do with this extra special energy that we’re encountering.” Guitarist Joey Santiago added: “This time around we have grown. We no longer have under two-minute songs. We have little breaks, more conventional arrangements but still our twists in there.”

Helping to establish the alt-rock sound of the late '80s and '90s, the Pixies have become an iconic act, influencing everyone from Nirvana, to Radiohead, to Weezer with their jagged-edged indie-rock.

Formed in Boston, US in 1986, the band was formed by Charles Thompson (vocals, guitar), later changing his name to Black Francis, alongside Joey Santiago (lead guitar), David Lovering (drums) and Kim Deal (bass). After playing at various local venues, the Pixies gained a support slot for Throwing Muses, which attracted the attention of producer Gary Smith. Offering to record the band, the result was an 18-song demo, "The Purple Tape," which impressed Ivo Watts of the UK label, 4AD, with Pixies soon joining their roster.

Their debut album, "Surfer Rosa," was released in 1988, featuring the engineering talents of Steve Albini, who had helped pioneer the abrasive sound which set the standard for alternative rock subsequently in his band, Big Black. The Pixies' debut found critical acclaim across the board, gaining significant airplay and soon resulting in a record deal with Elektra Records.

Retunring to the studio, this time with Gil Norton as producer, the band created what was to be their classic album. Released in 1989, Doolittle favored a cleaner, pop-tinged sound, finding several Top Ten hits in the process, particularly finding success in Britain. After extensive touring, the band decided to take a break in 1990, hoping to replenish the band's enthusiasm.

Following solo escapades by Black Francis, they returned to the studio in 1991 for their third release, "Bossanova," which garnered mixed reviews, favoring a surf rock sound. Nonetheless, the album faired well in the charts, prompting further successful tours and festival appearances. Returning to a loud rock sound as to their earlier efforts, their fourth record, "Trompe le Monde" again found praise, resulting in further international tours before another hiatus ensued.

Black Francis, just as he was about to release his solo debut, announced that the band had disbanded, prior to his band member's knowledge of this. The members of the Pixies continued with their various other projects to moderate success, whilst still being big names in the indie rock scene. Several re-issues and archival recordings were released during the late '90s and early '00s, continuing to maintain the band's reputation and popularity, despite the hiatus.

It was not until 2003 that hopes for a Pixies reunion surfaced, reuniting in a series of tours in the US in 2004. A live DVD soon followed to much anticipation, with the band continuing to tour intermittently throughout the rest of the decade. Yet in 2013, new music arrived, self-releasing "EP1" in July that year. Two further EPs were released, with these new recordings later compiled as the album, "Indie Cindy," in April 2014.

Live reviews

Wednesday 31st October, the Roundhouse, London, Pixies. So its thirty years since Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa were released and its night two of a six night residency at the Roundhouse celebrating this anniversary. Obviously, there’s no Kim Deal but Paz Lenchantin is an able replacement and has been part of the band for the past four years.

It’s a reasonably mixed audience but oldies like me who saw Pixies first time around probably edge it. These type of shows where a band perform the whole of an album are both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand you are hearing a classic album (certainly in the case of Surfer Rosa) in its entirety evoking those memories of when it was first released and that point in your life but then you miss the spontaneity of the unknown setlist as you know exactly what song is coming up next. And that is very much the dilemma tonight.

The show starts about thirty minutes before the band arrive on stage with a film about the iconic images associated with both albums followed by an esoteric visual/audio experience utilising the bank of screens around the stage. It probably outstays its welcome by 15 minutes and the crowd are a little impatient by the time band eventually come on stage.

With no fanfare the band launch straight into ‘Caribou’ with the rest of the ‘Come on Pilgrim’ EP quickly following like a grunge juggernaut powering along the rock highway with no brakes, stops or pauses. There is no interaction with the crowd, no fuss, no filler and then it’s the main course of the evening for what was a highly influential album for me and music as a whole in the late eighties, ‘Surfer Rosa’. From the opening riff of ‘Bone Machine’ it’s a note for note, word for word run through of this classic album including the ad libs and chats on the record.

Its breath taking relentless stuff and whilst my memory doesn’t serve me well in terms of what the energy of the band was like thirty years ago they proved tonight they can still rock. Franks voice still has that unique range and the supporting cast provide the necessary licks and drive to transport us back to 1988. A quick break and then its back on stage for a five song encore which given what came before seemed superfluous. (I note on future nights they segmented the two albums with the encore tracks and so ended on the high of ‘Surfer Rosa’.

It would be ridiculous to have a highlight given the material but the obvious ‘hits’ of ‘Gigantic’ and ‘where is my mind’ were excellent along with both versions of ‘Vamos’.

So on the whole I think the evening worked, the oldies enjoyed it and the youngsters experiencing probably their first taste of this iconic band lapped it up too. So ‘Doolittle’ next year anyone?

Until the next time keep on grunge rockin y’all

Report as inappropriate

The technicians prepare the stage. The pedal set of Joey is really impressive, he needs himself a sheet of paper to remember all the set-ups.

The Pixies come on stage silently, without saying a word. From the first moment they give me the impression of being tired and without much energy to give to the audience.

Black Francis has grown in weight and wears a black dress.

Paz Lenchantin stands on the right side, she has a rose sticked to her bass and she is quite a humble figure. The same can be said of Joey Santiago, who is wearing a coppola cap and hardly interacts with the audience. Probably the most lively character on stage is David Lovering who does a great job in the rythmic part.

In the song Rock Music. It is almost impossible to hear Black Francis’ voice. Maybe there’s something wrong with the microphone and the sound levels. Maybe he just does not have any longer the voice for this type of song.

During this tour the band plays 11 of the songs from the new album Beneath the Eyrie, which are quite tame in my opinion.

Another choice I don’t understand is that they deliver most of their hits in the first part of their set, leading to a boring and empty second part.

They should have spread the hits more evenly throughout the set, to keep the audience awake.

All the classic are amazing and I can't resist from singing together with them.

Vamos is the longest song of the set and Joey finally pulls out some trick and plays a bit with the jack of his guitar waving it around and creating some noise.

At the end we are not even sure we will get an encore. Francis looks exhausted. The group plays a little scene on stage where Paz convinces the other to play one last song. Bone Machine.

Brilliant. I saw them last in 1989 and was so happy when my wife bought me a ticket to this gig for my 47th! The band played for around 2 hours and covered tunes from just about every album although i have to say i have barely listened to that orange one so wouldn't know if they played something from that mistake.

They transported me back to my youth for two hours even if as an auld cnut i just stood there either nodding my head back and forth or tapping my foot or, during more energetic moments, a combination of both. I really enjoying the performance far more than it showed, honest.

I was surprised to see so many what i thought were youngsters in the Tonhalle listening to a band who formed when many of them weren't even twinkles in the eyes of their hopeful padres, but their energy made up for my lack of. Thanks to them. I was even more surprised to see Mosh pit contributions by guys older than me. Respect. You energetic cnuts. Love it.

They played enough off the Surfa Rosa and Come on Pilgrim LPs that i went home a seriously happy man who hasn't stopped talking about and reliving the gig since.

So fucking good. I hope I'm alive when they play again here.

Pixies were a driving force in the alt-rock boom of the early 90's in America and their legacy and influence lives on in contemporary bands to this day. Their latest support act Royal Blood thank the band for the invite and explain that albums such as 'Surfer Rosa' had massive influence on their own sound.

From the grunge introduction of 'Bone Machine', the audience are ready to jump, cheer, sing and mosh with this iconic rock outfit and the band gives it everything on stage in return. A slick performance group, they blaze through a number of fan favourites before the audience even has chance to applaud in earth shaking volume. They thank their british audience profusely before beginning cult classic 'Monkey Gone to Heaven'.

They still inherit the qualities that makes so many young and emerging bands turn to Pixies during the beginnings of their careers. Despite having toured for close on 25 years, the stage show still has a very organic feel where the music is allowed to take centre stage without relying on visuals or pyrotechnics. The finale of 'Where Is My Mind?' remind the audience just how iconic Pixies really are.

Doors opened at 7:30 PM, around 8:30 PM the opening band, Public Access TV, started playing. It's an OK band.

Pixies started playing around 9:45PM. They started with "Where is my mind" and a couple more popular songs, then they went back to not so popular songs (not popular for no-fans) from the first albums, the mixed make-the-crowd-jump loud rock songs to some lets-take-a-break more melodic songs.

A weird thing I noticed was that Paz played two or three songs with his back to the public, at first I thought she was checking something with the sound but then realized she was playing like that on purpose. Nothing bad with, the music was still great.

They never stopped playing from start to finish, it was song after song, no talking to the public. The only interaction with the public was Joey doing a mini-solo on his guitar.

In general a very good concert, nothing like listen to them live.

The Pixies are just as relevant now as they were when they first started.

Black Francis is still the driving force of yesteryear and is supported by Joey Santiago (guitar), David Lovering (drums) and Paz Lenchantin (who replaced Kim Shattuck and in tun Kim Deal). While Black Francis is the focal point of any Pixies concert, the underpinning contributions of the other three are critical. This was always the case in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Black Francis was a solo artist.

Despite some good tunes he was never the same live without Joey and David to drive the sound. They are a powerful quartet with a tremendous back catalogue. The Pixies don't know how to deliver a bad concert. So go and see them and enjoy yourself.

A valuable lesson I learnt last night and that is never to look at a set list from a previous night's gig as you will most probably be disappointed.

Looking through the set list of the Pixies at Brixton on Monday night I was really excited for last night's performance, 32 massive songs played over 2 1/4 hours. Last night however couldn't have been more different with the only big tune the whole night being "Monkey Gone to Heaven".

Being a massive Pixies fan for some 30 years I have to say I was very disappointed indeed.

However, each song was played superbly and in quick fire mode with the only crowd interaction being when Black Francis apologised for messing up the same song twice, embarrassingly moving on to the next song

Charles "Black Francis" Thompson, David Lovering, Paz Lenchantin and Joey Santiago together all brought a great ear candy experience last night! From the moment I heard Thompson's warbling vocals filtering out the open front door as he sang the line "What's that floating in the water?" from 'Mr. Grieves' I knew the night was off to a great start! Together Thompson along with Lovering's backbeat, Lenchantin's furious bass work and call-and-answer style of vocal trade with Thompson, rounded off with Santiago's amazing guitar work, they tore through the perfect set list with many hits as well as rare gems mixed in!

Awful Awful

I have wanted to see Pixies since 1992ish but never had the chance until now. The Opening band Royal Blood was amazing for a 2 piece band! Pixies had some sound issues at first where we could not hear the vocals at all, about halfway through the set the sound improved & also started playing some of their older more recognizable songs. Once that happened the show went on amazingly. I am happy to have seen them. The venue (Shaw center, Edmonton, AB) was nice because you could stand or sit if you preferred.

Meanwhile, last month Pixies told  NME   about going for curry with  David Bowie  and having the legend cover one of their songs.

The alt-rock legends took NME ‘s  Does Rock ‘N’ Roll Kill Braincells?! challenge where veteran artists are quizzed about their history in the music industry. During the interview, frontman Black Francis and drummer David Lovering were asked about Bowie covering  Pixies’ ‘ Cactus’  for his 2002 album ‘Heathen’.

“It’s cool when people like your music and do versions of it but I don’t like to make a big deal out of it,” Francis said. “Bowie was just a music geek – like me. It’s too star-fucky if you say  [adopts an air-headed voice]  ‘ Oh my God, he likes me! He looked at me! ’. Everybody’s shit stinks. I’m not pushing an egalitarian agenda here, but let’s get real!”

Discussing an in-person encounter with the legend, Lovering remembered: “David Bowie once took us to an Indian restaurant in Manchester, and I sat next to him shooting the shit. At the end, he offered to pay and pulled out a credit card and said [his birth name]: ‘David Jones!’”

Pixies announce UK and European tour for 2023

Boston alternative punk icons Pixies have announced that they will be returning to the UK in 2023 as part of a new European tour.  The band have shared news that they will play several venues in the UK in March, including London’s Roundhouse (you can check out full UK and European tour dates below).

The tour announcement comes after Pixies released their eighth full studio album,  Doggerel,  in September.  The album came out on the Infectious Music label, to largely positive critical response.  The release was preceded by the singles “ There’s a Moon On”, “Vault of Heaven”  and  “Dregs of the Wine”.   The recording process for the new album was also filmed, becoming a short documentary on the band that was released in June 2022.

In a recent press release discussing the new album, guitarist Joey Santiago said, “ This time around we have grown.  We no longer have under two-minute songs.  We have little breaks, more conventional arrangements but still our twists in there.”

Vocalist/ guitarist Black Francis went on to add, “ We’re trying to do things that are very big and bold and orchestrated.  The punky stuff, I really like playing it but you just cannot artificially create that shit.  There’s another way to do this, there’s other things we can be doing with this extra special energy we’re encountering.”

The new album also marks the first songwriting credits for Joey Santiago on two of its tracks, “Dregs of the Wine”  and  “Pagan Man” .  Vocalist/ guitarist Black Francis said of “ Pagan Man “, the album’s final song,  “I was not in the mood to compose a lyric because I was already spent, if you will. So Joey wrote the lyric.”   He went on to explain that the song was, “an unfinished bit of music that the producer kept insisting that we try again” .   Doggerel was recorded in Vermont’s Guildford Sound, an eco-friendly recording studio, with the basis for many songs being the pre-recorded demos Black Francis had created in the time following the band’s seventh album release, 2019’s  Beneath the Eyrie .

About Pixies

The Pixies are an alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, and distinguished themselves by practicing a quite-loud type of rock that gets inspiration from surf and psychedelic rock. They exercise different music structures in their tracks furnishing new musical sentiments when they perform on stage. Formed in 1986, the band went through some turmoil before getting back together in 2004 and continuing on their musical journey. With sound influences from the likes of Nirvana or Smashing Pumpkins, their cut back music received mediocre results in the US; however, they gained popularity in Europe. Without even striving to reach the top of the charts, Pixies laid back alternative sound granted them a few records like "Where Is My Mind?" that caught the publics' attention. Pixies were unconformist in their music as much as they were unconformist in their attitude towards what they were doing, and it suited them!

Refused announce 2025 North American farewell tour as singer Dennis Lyxzén recovers from heart attack

Swedish hardcore punk heroes Refused will tour North America one last time before calling it a day in 2025

Refused have announced a farewell North American tour for 2025 as singer Dennis Lyxzén recovers from a massive heart attack.

The vocalist, 51, had a heart attack in June of this year, causing the band to pull out of a festival appearance in Sweden.

Now, with Lyxzén on the mend, the band have announced 14 North American dates for next year with Quicksand in support and confirmed these will be their farewell to the United states and Canada.

They have also suggested they'll bid farewell to fans elsewhere over the course of 2025, finishing in their homeland of Sweden.

Drummer David Sandström says: "In the beginning of this year we started making plans to have one last big hurrah, to make the end of the band a fun, generous, indulgent affair. And that's how it felt after the first show. It's the best we've ever sounded and we were really enjoying ourselves, tossing in old songs we haven't played since the nineties and even a Misfits cover.

"And then disaster struck. I visited Dennis in the hospital the day after he was admitted and true to form he was not happy about the hospital gown he was forced to wear.

"So on to the good news: Dennis is doing great. He's one of the healthiest dudes I know. He can't sit still, exercises a lot and it follows that his recuperation would be swift. He's gotten excellent care and his doctor has run all the physical tests on him and they all indicate he's making a full recovery.

"Needless to say, he's itching to get back on tour to play shows and he even suggested we should keep preliminary dates set up for the late fall and winter, but we decided to postpone those shows and instead start up in the spring.

"So yeah, that's where we're at. We're coming to the U.S. in March/April 2025 and we're looking at what else we can do with the rest of the year, all we know is that we want to finish back home in Sweden at the end of the year."
