Pixies returned to the live stage last autumn and premiered brand new songs, the first collection of new material since 1991's Trompe le Monde. The Boston-formed Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement. Their five studio releases and initial six years together effectively blazed the path for groups like Nirvana, Radiohead and Pearl Jam to rise to superstardom.
The Pixies disbanded in 1993 and launched their reunion tour in April, 2004 when virtually every single date sold out within minutes and fans travelled hundreds of miles to attend a show. The Pixies - Black Francis - guitar/vocals, Joey Santiago - guitars/backing vocals, and David Lovering - drums/backing vocals - will be performing at festivals all over the world including Primavera and Field Day, with the most wide-ranging concert set-list in the band's career.
The iconic Castlefield bowl in the heart of Manchester City Centre played host to the Courteeners in 2013 for two hugely successful sold out concerts.
