| Delighted to see another Cardiff show, though I'll be going to Birmingham the night before too. Much smaller venue! |

Can we shed some light on the venues? I mean one of the Dutch shows is in a seated theatre.
Sitting down and enjoying the Pixies? That will be a first for me?
More breezy surf songs? Acoustic stuff?

| 4 shows in The New UK - hope they also add some shows to Scotland and Northern Ireland/Ireland - although I doubt I'll be hitting any of them because they tickets will probably be like £40 upwards |

I think that's probably an exception - they'll take the chairs out downstairs, won't they? UK are all standing, London is 3000ish capacity.
Columbiahalle has always been pretty grim when I've been - oversold and v static crowd.
Hoping for all of Doggerel and refreshed back catalog selection...
Have managed to avoid hearing any Doggerel except Moon, keeping it fresh! |

Edinburgh Playhouse has always been a great venue to see bands (even though it's seated) Great if you can bag front row (like I did for Judas Priest/Annihilator) in 1991
Standing always better though - seated gigs are for old people going to see orchestras and stuff |

I do feel old, and I like to sit down (even in my 20's)
But there should be some people standing to mosh around a bit
Even though I'm not one of them

| Off to the side and leaning on the barrier works for me - Pixies mosh pits carry a little extra timber these days.. |

A Pixies mosh pit cost me nearly a full 1.0 gig in 1991
That said - I was one of the participating moshers that time |

Olympia in Paris, same venue as 2019 & 2013. About 2,500 capacity with a fairly good sound. The other usual venue (Zenith) is utterly shitty so it's not too bad.
I cracked/bruised a rib in the mosh pit in Rouen last june, it hurt for a few weeks but it was worth it :)

I was there! I did both shows back then. Yeah it's larger than the venues I usually go to but it's nice really. Also the Fontaines DC gig last April in there was just crazy. Caught covid though

I'm fine thanks. I basically go to shows to get hurt anyway, you know, let off some steam...

| Yeah interesting they omitted Ireland completely. Wonder if Brexit impacted their decision, maybe it's more costly now to shift their gear around. |

Presumably skipping them since they did a few shows in Ireland over the summer, plus Scotland and the north east.
Cardiff gets a second hit, but the 6Music Festival show in April was a much shorter set (55mins tops). |

| Their UK dates were an inconsistent mess this year, felt like they were filling calendar slots with whatever was available. Manchester did OK, I guess.. |

A good many of this year's were/are long rescheduled dates, which goes some way to explaining the pattern. |

| That was relatively painless, London showing limited availability for both nights on the Roundhouse site so probably best not to dally too long. |

8 songs of Doggerel, very nice!
No Bossanova or Beneath the Eyrie though
(No HC or IC either)
I would lose some of the 10 Doolittle tracks
