PIXIES ADD SECOND LEG TO 2017 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
With
more than half of Leg One already sold out, Pixies announce the
addition of Leg Two to its 2017 North American touring schedule. The
band will kick off the second leg September 19 in New Haven, CT, and
will perform in major and secondary markets over a five-week period.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 24; log onto www.pixiesmusic.com for pre-sales details and complete purchasing info.
Pixies,
a longtime leader in helping to break the ticket scalper stranglehold,
will be working to get their face-value tickets to their fans, and not
to touts for inflated resale, something they did very successfully
during last fall’s UK tour. Said Pixies manager Richard Jones, “On this
tour, we are asking the promoters and the venues to make available as
many tickets as possible for pre-sales. That way, we can help insure
that tickets get into the hands of the fans and not the scalpers. We’ve
also asked the promoters to remove any secondary site links and to use
their anti-tout teams and technology to help combat the scalper market."
Leg
Two - the second of three planned for North America - will also include
additional New York shows - the initial three NY dates on Leg One are
sold out - as well as this cycle's first Canadian shows, scheduled in
Toronto and Montreal. Brooklyn’s Mitski ("one of the most compelling voices in the sphere of indie rock” - Pitchfork) will open the show in Denver.
On
the 2017 dates, Pixies - Joey Santiago/guitar, Black Francis/guitar
& vocals, David Lovering/drums, and bassist Paz Lenchantin - are
introducing to its global audiences a brand new stage set designed by
their longtime production manager Simon Foster and lighting designer
Myles Mangino. The design is simple and sleek and fashioned around
special pods that are positioned behind the band, housing all of the
lighting. Fans can expect a set list comprised of the classics and
catalogue rarities as well as newer songs from Indie Cindy and the band's latest release, Head Carrier.
As is the norm, there will be no firm set list for Pixies’ shows;
their sets, while pulled from nearly 90 songs that the band has
rehearsed and is prepared to play, will change somewhat from night to
night with every number determined just before it’s performed.
Pixies
launched the European leg of this 2016-17 global run last November,
playing sold-out shows throughout the UK and wrapping up in Birmingham
on December 8. The band is back on the road as of February 25, playing a
series of dates in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and, for the first
time, South Africa. Following the April/May North American leg, Pixies
will head to Europe to play a series of major summer festivals.
