Pixies will tour the U.S. this spring, following last September’s album Head Carrier and hit a number of cozy venues including Boston’s House of Blues and Paradise. The band will also be hitting both Webster Hall and Brooklyn Steel in NYC. The quarter will bring brand new stage setup designed by longtime production manager Simon Foster and lighting designer Myles Mangino. According to a press release, “the design is simple and sleek and fashioned around special pods that house all of the lighting, positioned behind the band.” There will also be no setlist, meaning each night will be different. Full tour dates are below and dates will have support from Public Access TV and Cymbals Eat Guitars.
U.S. fan pre-sale begins on the Pixies’ website at 10 a.m. today (January 24) with the password MASHER. General sale begins at 10 a.m. Friday. See all the newly announced dates in a tweet from the Pixies below, or scroll down for plain-text format.
