The Pixies are about to begin the second leg of their massive, three-part North American tour, but they’re already looking ahead to 2024, when the band will perform their two 1990s albums — Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde — in full at 15 shows in five European cities.
The tour, which the band is calling Bossanova X Trompe Le Monde, will feature three concerts apiece in Dublin, Manchester, London, Amsterdam and Paris next March. For the first time ever, the Pixies will play the two albums, released in 1990 and 1991, in full each night, along other songs from the band’s catalog.
Tickets for the shows go on sale 9 a.m. UK / 10 a.m. CET on Friday, June 9.
The Pixies previously performed Come On Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa together at a limited number of dates, and have played Doolittle in full on multiple tours as well. The band’s current U.S. tour comes in support of last year’s Doggerel, their fourth post-reunion album. (See those dates here.)
