It’s been over 35 years since the groundbreaking album Doolittle resulted in the breakthrough of the Pixies, 20 years since their celebrated comeback at Coachella, and in March, it will be 3 years since they showed in the Main Hall of De Oosterpoort that they are bigger than ever. According to them, the most influential and progressive alternative rock band from the ’80s is currently in their most creative period ever, which has resulted in a new album titled The Night The Zombies Came (release: October 2024).

And with new work comes an extensive tour, which will include a stop at De Oosterpoort in Groningen at the end of April. Not that you’ll only hear new work, because the Pixies are known for playing whatever they feel like live, without a predetermined setlist, making every Pixies show unique. Undoubtedly, classics like Where’s My Mind and Here Comes Your Man will also make an appearance, along with many other songs that have inspired bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, The Strokes, Weezer, and many others.
