“We’re all big Weezer fans,” Pixies vocalist Black Francis said in a statement. “So we’re really looking forward to this summer. We have a lot of respect for Weezer, they’re not afraid to take risks in their music”   

Pixies and Weezer are touring giants. According to Pollstar box office reports, Pixies sold out four shows in a row in September. Weezer, who completed an extensive tour with Panic! At The Disco last year, played a sold out show at Seattle’s The Showbox earlier this year.
