Weezer and Pixies have announced a massive, co-headlining seven-week North American tour for summer 2018. The Live Nation-producecd tour begins June 23 in Tampa Florida, and will wrap in Phoenix, Arizona on August 12. On June 26, the bands (joined by supporting act the Wombats) will take over Bold Sphere Music at Champions Square in New Orleans.
Though Weezer and Pixies have shared stages in the past, this marks their first full tour together. Tickets go on sale to the public starting on Friday, November 10. For more information visit weezer.com and pixiesmusic.com. Weezer fans can also sign up for the band’s e-mail list for access to the band’s pre-sale that will begin on Monday, November 6.
The tour comes on the heels of the release of Weezer’s acclaimed 11th studio album, Pacific Daydream, this past Friday. The band celebrated the album’s release with a performance of their new single “Happy Hour” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this week. Weezer’s tour with Pixies will see them playing a mix of new songs and classics from their revered 25-year catalogue, featuring countless chart-topping hits that have made them one of the world’s greatest bands.
Pixies’ live shows are unadulterated magic – simultaneously electrifying and lo-fi with focus on the music with almost no between-song banter. On this tour, fans can expect 75-minutes of Pixies playing “anything they want,” one song right after the other, chosen from all points of their career, the classics and the new gems. Artists like Bono, Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and David Bowie knew what they were saying when they heaped praise on Pixies’ immense influence and rich contribution to music. This is a band that gives its concert audiences sweet memories of the past while continuing to evolve with relevancy.
