There's talk of them at EP on the EP forum, but I don't want to get me hopes up!

Great stuff!
But what the hell are the Pixies doing playing on such a crap line-up (Neil Young being the exception)

Isle Of Wight is a big festival, the lineup will surely improve as time goes on. And how dare you imply that the Ting Tings are crap!

Anyways, Pixies tour = w00t!! Hopefully will get to see them if I can convince someone to go with me.

You do realise they have been reformed for a few years now and even have multiple live DVDs of said Reunion - Kim Deal included.

I thought this was a zombie post when I opened it. They've been back for a while now.

I love the Pixies, but I think they should knock it on the head at this stage - they're never going to record anything new, touring year after year with the same songs makes them nothing more than an ageing nostalgia act.

i know they reformed a few years back, I saw them in lansdowne in 2005 but after that they just stopped anything and chances of new material or even reforming again was gone, i saw sometin about Kim Deal saying that she never wanted to do anything with the Pixies again, it was only a few months too:pac:

The Pixies acoustic set live in Newport is excellent, saw it on Sky Arts recently, worth checking it out.

They've been disbanded for a while too, almost two years.

JerryHandbag

Saw them in 04 supporting the Chili Peppers.....the crowd didnt seem to know who they were.....was dying of hay fever so it all went over my head...was just listening to Doolittle earlier, forgotten how good they were

calex71

saw them back in the day so meh to a reunion without new material they are just cashingin

Cecilia Ann

OMG- cant believe it!!!! Have never seen them and dying to!!!Hope they play Dublin or maybe Benicassim fest in Spain!!!

MrsJohnMurphy

wow, am very surprised and excited at this ... wasnt expecting any more gigs outta them for a while ...

oxygen is 4 weeks after this I wonder if they'll be added to the bill or maybe they'll just do a show in the point hopefully!

I'm sure they will release new material if they are touring. Frank Black is a writing machine!!!

He's like Ryan Adams, just pumps out the songs, the hard part is sifting through the material for the gold

jefreywithonef

The gold is there often enough anyway. Hope they don't play ****** (although it would be pretty mindblowing to see both Pixies and Nick Cave in one festival).

Alan1988

Can't wait- LEGENDS.

RAMAN

I was complaining to a friend a few weeks oago that there were very little gigs on this year, that's what I get for opening my mouth. Wouldn't miss this for nothing or nobody!

bossa_nova

Pixies are playing two dates in the olympia in october :D:D:D:D

HouseHippo

yerayeah

If only I had fecking money...:(

missmatty

Yeah it's on the ticketmaster news. Hope I get tickets. Saw them in Phoenix Park 2004 but was way too far away from the stage and most ppl didn't seem to know them. Olympia should be good.

indeed,

i still have the setlist taht i caught at there gig in 2005

its proudly displayed on my wall

theCzar

going to be away for the whole month

Think I'll see about getting some tickets anyway in case my plans change and I can go.

Big Vern

Seen The Pixies in the national stadium many years ago, they were brilliant. What a band live, especially in a small venue. Those shows in the olympia will be awesome....

mru

The demand for the tixs is going to be thru the roof. I'll try me best, but knowing my luck there's no way I'm going to get a ticket tomorrow!

asharkman

Should be a good gig. Pretty expensive tickets though 50e ouch!

Paid worse for non-legendary bands.

Tchaikovsky

Saw them in the Phoenix Park and Lansdowne Road, but I'd say they'd be on a different level at an indoor gig.

That's actually a really good price, i was expecting 70 when i heard the gig announced first.

awhir

Sorry, just saw other thread in the gigs forum.

girlbiker

Sold out at five past nine after queuing ..............Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:(
Onsale on tout websites from 189€ Bastards!!!:mad:

RodVelvet

Im very happy, logged on at 9 got them straight away for the friday. Never got through the queue so quick, I thought there must be no demand. They should be amazing in the Olympia I would surmise.

Menas

I was online at 9 too, but could not get a ticket. It must have been 2 minutes past nine when I got the sold out notice for the friday night gig.

exiot

Cant believe it has sold out already! missed them the last two times they have been here

Yeah I wasn't shocked at all that they went so quickly after seeing how fast Faith No More sold out.

Only thing that pissed me off was that I didn't get any feckin' tickets. We don't all got your contacts Homerun.

Kid V

So disappointed i didnt get a tic. Queued with mates for just under an hour and a half. I was the 6th person in the queue and i was the first to not get a tic. Just wish the people in front of me had paid in cash rather than laser. It would of sped things up and i might have got a ticket. Absolutely gutted. Tried to spend away my sorrows in tower straight after by buying a few CDs. Probably going to try and drown them later on tonight.

Congratulations everyone who got a ticket. Its a once in a lifetime chance to see one of the greatest bands performing their greatest work.

I can only hope and dream they'll tour again in the future. They might be tempted to from a financial perspective.

theCzar

Was on at 9am but forced to wait 3 mins in queue... no tickets.

Luckily a friend of mine came up trumps with a spare.

All touts must die.

Heaven Net

The band's rep has confirmed that the Pixies will celebrate the 20th anniversary release of Doolittle by playing the album in its entirety this fall when the band tours Europe. No word on whether or not the band plans to to tour North America.
