Pixies have announced their return to Australia and New Zealand, taking to stages this December for their long-paused ‘Come On Pilgrim… It’s Surfer Rosa’ tour – get tickets here.It’ll be the band’s second time taking the run Down Under, after an attempt in 2020 was cut short by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
They played four of the dates on that tour – two headliners in Melbourne, one in Auckland and a set at that year’s Golden Plains festival in regional Victoria – but were forced to cancel shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Perth.All three cities are featured on the new itinerary, which is set to kick off in Brisbane on December 2.
They’ll play Sydney next, before returning to Melbourne, playing their first show in Adelaide since 2010, then hitting the stage in Perth.
Wellington will be the first of three Aotearoan cities to see the tour, with gigs in Auckland and Christchurch following shortly thereafter.Tickets for all eight shows go on sale at 2pm local time next Tuesday (April 5), with a pre-sale open to Live Nation members starting at 1pm this Friday (April 1).
