Pixies clearly can’t get enough of playing in Australia and New Zealand.
The alternative rock legends have today announced their return for a massive tour in 2025, set to perform a unique two-night experience in each city.
Pixies are planning to play their iconic albums Bossanova (1990) and Trompe Le Monde (1991) in full on the first night, followed by a diverse set featuring songs from their latest album, The Night the Zombies Came, as well as other catalogue favourites on the second night.
The tour will begin in Australia at Fremantle Prison on November 8th and 9th, before moving to Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall, and Melbourne’s Festival Hall. The band will then cross the Tasman for shows at Auckland Town Hall and Wellington’s St James Theatre (see full dates below).
Pixies’ tour announcement comes on the heels of their acclaimed tenth studio album, The Night the Zombies Came. The album has been praised by several music publications, with MOJO lauding the band’s enduring vitality and DIY highlighting their consistent influence and relevance in the music industry.
The band’s recent performances in the UK have further cemented their reputation as a formidable live act. Their main stage appearance at London’s All Points East festival was described as “raucous” by Rolling Stone UK, while their sold-out Glasgow Academy show was hailed as “a full-on head rush of classics” by the Scottish Sun.
Pixies have been supporting Pearl Jam Down Under this month, while they also performed two Aussies sideshows supported by The Belair Lip Bombs.
