The biggest surprise of the day isn’t the weather, which is what you might call glorious, apart from a late afternoon cloudburst that at least gives me the excuse I’ve been looking for to hide under a table, perhaps the only sensible response to an appropriately thundery set by Ben Harper and the aptly-named Relentless7.
Including four nights at London's Brixton AcademyPixies have confirmed a UK and Ireland tour, at which they will play the entirety of Doolittle to mark it's 20th anniversary.
The band comprising Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David Lovering and Kim Deal, will play classic album Doolittle in full before a 'best of' set.
Tickets go on sale on Friday July 3, at 9am.
Pixies will play:
Dublin Olympia (October 1, 2)
Glasgow SECC (4)
It’s a little strange writing an obituary, of sorts, knowing that you’re going to fill it, at least in part, with abuse. I suspect, though, that Steven Wells – who died from cancer last week - would not have wanted it, probably, any other way.
