Pixies 2025 New Zealand Tour Details, Tickets & More
Few acts in the history of alternative rock have upended convention as emphatically as Pixies have, by virtue of their deft melding of singer-guitarist Black Francis’ fragmented lyrics with punk, indie rock, classic pop, and surf rock sounds.
Pixies’ unmistakable jagged guitars, intertwined male-female harmonies, and stop-start dynamics – as showcased on albums such as 1988’s Surfer Rosa and the following year’s Doolittle – launched a revolution, and helped lay the foundations for the ensuing decade’s alternative explosion.
Such acts as Nirvana, Weezer, Radiohead, PJ Harvey, the Strokes, and Arcade Fire owe something to Pixies, who – just days after their jaw-dropping performance opening for Pearl Jam at Go Media Stadium – have announced Auckland and Wellington dates for late 2025.
Specifically, the alt-rock legends will be putting on four special “residency” shows in this country, at Auckland Town Hall on 23rd and 24th November, and at St James Theatre in Wellington on 26th and 27th November.
In the case of each city, the first night will see them play two fan-favourite albums – Bossanova (1990) and Trompe Le Monde (1991) – in their entirety. This will be followed by a “classic Pixies set” on the second night, and songs from their new album, The Night the Zombies Came.
