Pixies have announced two exclusive intimate sideshows in Melbourne and Sydney as part of their Australian tour with Pearl Jam, starting next week.
These shows are set for Friday, 15 November, at Melbourne’s The Croxton, and Wednesday, 20 November, at Sydney’s Liberty Hall. Joining Pixies on stage for both nights will be Melbourne rock outfit The Belair Lip Bombs.
Following their highly successful 2022 Australian tour—where sold-out shows at iconic venues like Melbourne’s Forum and the Sydney Opera House Forecourt left fans clamouring for more—the upcoming sideshows promise a unique opportunity to catch Pixies up close.

Pixies are also celebrating the recent release of their tenth studio album, The Night the Zombies Came, which has drawn praise from music critics. MOJO described the album, saying, “This most thrillingly deathly of bands remains alive,” while DIY highlighted Pixies’ ongoing influence, calling them “one of the most consistent, influential bands on the planet.”
Over the past summer, Pixies captivated audiences in the UK, headlining at London’s All Points East festival and delivering sold-out performances, including a celebrated show at the Glasgow Academy. Rolling Stone UK praised their London set as “raucous,” while the Scottish Sun called their Glasgow show “a full-on head rush of classics.” Glasgow World hailed Pixies as “as relevant in 2024 as they were over 35 years ago.”
Now deep into their celebrated second act and marking 35 years since the release of their Platinum-certified album Doolittle, Pixies continue to create music that resonates with fans across generations.
