Pixies to play ‘Bossanova’ and ‘Trompe Le Monde’ in full at UK and European residencies
nme.comPixies have announced a new UK and European tour, in which they will celebrate their ‘Bossanova’ and ‘Trompe Le Monde’ albums.The tour is set to kick off in Spring 2024, and will see the alt-rock icons perform their third studio album ‘Bossanova’ (1990) and follow-up ‘Trompe Le Monde’ album (1991) in full.‘Bossanova’ was introduced by the singles “Velouria” and “Dig for Fire“, and marked the first LP following the success of their hit second album ‘Doolittle’.
It also was the first to feature no songs written by bassist Kim Deal, as she formed her other band The Breeders around the time it was written.‘Trompe Le Monde’ arrived the following year, and featured four singles: ‘Planet Of Sound’, ‘Alec Eiffel’, ‘Letter To Memphis’ and ‘Head On’.
Like its predecessor, it also contained less contributions from Deal than seen in the first two LPs, and marked the band’s final studio album, before their subsequent break-up two years later.Starting with three back-to-back live dates in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on March 8, 9 and 10, the four-piece will then make stops in Manchester — for a three-night residency in the Albert Hall between March 12 and 14 — and another three-night stint in London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town between March 16 and 18.The UK shows will be followed by three nights in both Amsterdam (March 20-22) and Paris (March 25-27).
Tickets for all dates go on sale this Friday (June 9) at 9am local time and will be available here.Currently, the rock veterans are embarking on their ongoing tour of North America.
