Pixies Announce Dates For North America
After several weeks of hype and rumor, dates are finally confirmed for the Pixies‘ 11-city “warm-up” tour of North America. Starting April 14 in Winnipeg, Canada, they’ll cover central and western Canada before moving down the West Coast, culminating with their May 1 headlining performance at Indio, Calif.’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival .
The band’s previously announced European tour will follow, running from May 28 to July 10.
All four original members – Frank Black on vocals and guitar, Joey Santiago on guitar, Kim Deal on bass, and David Lovering on drums – are currently rehearsing in Southern California, working together for the first time since they disbanded in 1993.
Later this year, 4AD/Beggars Banquet will release “Pixies,” a DVD featuring videos, a live concert, a documentary and behind-the-scenes footage. A best-of album is also on the way.
