The Pixies are to appear at this yearโ€™s Isle of Wight Festival, playing just before Sunday headliner Neil Young on June 14.

IOW will be the bandโ€™s only festival show in the UK and the eventโ€™s promotor John Giddings has commented: โ€œIt was hard to think of someone capable of complementing the musical talent of Neil Young but once I had the idea it was blindly obvious and it will surely be a legendary day on the Isle of Wight.โ€
