Pixies Announce First Run of 2023 North American Tour Dates

Pixies have announced the initial handful of dates for their upcoming 2023 North American headline tour.

Currently wrapping up their 2022 jaunt in New Zealand, the alt-rock stalwarts will hit the road starting on May 4th at the Fox Theatre in Oakland, California. They’ll primarily cover the southwest US throughout the month, making stops in cities such as Phoenix, Santa Fe, Denver, and two back-to-back nights in Las Vegas. They’ll wrap up the leg with a festival set at the Kilby Block Party in Salt Lake City.

Though the tour is in support of Pixies’ September album Doggerel, the band have a whole treasure trove of hits and deep cuts to add to their setlists — “setlists” being plural, because each night will see the band play a unique lineup of songs, deciding whatever “the next song” will be right before playing its first note.

Consequence‘s correspondent in Japan caught Pixies’ show in Osaka just a couple of weeks ago; revisit our recap of the night. Doggerel marked Pixies’ eighth studio album, following up 2019’s Beneath the Eyrie
