Alternative rock pioneers Pixies return to Australia in 2025 for a very special run of shows playing a two night residency in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. The first celebrating their legendary early-’90s albums Bossanova (1990) and Trompe Le Monde (1991) performed in full for the first time ever on Australian soil. The second show playing classic Pixies including songs from the new album The Night the Zombies Came.

The songs fans can expect to hear from Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde include “Velouria,” “Planet of Sound,” “Dig for Fire,” "Alison", “Alec Eiffel,” “Is She Weird,” songs rarely heard live since the early 1990s and wall-to-wall classics from their classic Pixies set will include "Gigantic", "Where Is my Mind", "Here Comes Your Man" and "Debaser".

With frontman Black Francis, guitarist Joey Santiago, drummer David Lovering, and bassist Paz Lenchantin, Pixies continue their unmatched legacy of noise, melody, and unrelenting stage presence.

Formed in Boston in 1986, Pixies reshaped the landscape of alternative music with their explosive mix of quiet-loud dynamics and surreal lyricism, inspiring generations of artists from Nirvana to Radiohead.
