Does anyone know who's opening for the European dates? I know Ding's band (AAAK) is doing part of the tour in November but I don't know about the earlier dates.

I sadly can't afford this this time, but I'd really love to see them at the Barrows in Glasgow. Anyway I still wouldn't give up my ticket for Art Brut to go though, a middle of the fringe on a Saturday night pre-tour gig from one of the best art punk bands of today in their prime? Who said rock and roll was dead. No, you are old and boring. Who do you want in your corner? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4KHwA8vdfQ |

Enjoy, Europeans! I suppose it's not a common thing to hope for mostly new music at a gig, well done Pixies.

This is really funny... I went to the website of the venue and it seems they just pasted some random bio of the band without reading it. Basically it says they totally sold out and that the reunion gigs are lame. Someone didn't do his job.

The four musicians are locked in a rehearsal room in Los Angeles to prepare to offer the setlist of the largest in the entire career of the Pixies concert.
"In addition to our favorite songs, we play songs we have not played for years or never played live before," said Black Francis. "Songs like 'Brick is Red,' 'Havalina,' 'Tony's Theme.' and 'Sad Punk.' We probably released about 80 songs, so we can change the setlist at the last minute if we wish. We're all very excited to start this tour. "
Formed in Boston, the Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential pioneering band of the movement alt / rock of the late 80s.

The tour was so popular that it lasted two years, taking the group in 18 countries for a total of 117 dates.
In May 2013, it was announced that Kim Deal, a founding member of the group, decided to leave the Pixies. Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering have however made it clear that instead of Kim in the group would always be there for her."

The original link mentioned 2 dates in Paris on September 29th and 30th. Does that mean they're gonna add another gig when the first one is sold out?

Dear Denis, do you know if it's possible to get tickets for Paris without them sending the tickets to me 30 euro's for FedEx seems a bit too expensive. I mean the concert itself cost only 44 euro's.

Yes, you can book tickets on this site and pick them up at the venue with some ID ! (you can also try this one http://www.fnactickets.com/recherche/rechercheRapide.do?search=pixies and pick them up at a fnac store with the same credit card you ordered them with. delivery might be cheaper, I don't know.)
ps: Got mine at 10pm, my guess is that it will be sold out in the afternoon. |
