Pixies announce initial dates for the first leg of their 2023 trek, starting May 4, headlining shows in US western states through to the middle of May.
Celebrating the bands seconds phase, this set (across eight slabs of vinyl or five CDs) contains the albums; Against, Nation, Roorback, Dante XXI, and A-Lex.
