With a genre-defining blend of alternative rock and indie sensibilities, the band—featuring Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David Lovering, and Emma Richardson—continues to influence generations of musicians and fans alike. Their enduring legacy spans from their 1986 formation through an impressive catalogue, including albums such as Beneath the Eyrie, Head Carrier, and the recent Doggerel.

Looking ahead, 2026 marks a significant milestone as Pixies celebrate four decades together. In honour of this anniversary, the band will headline major live music events across the UK. Standout concerts include performances at AVIVA STUDIOS in Manchester on 24 and 25 May 2026, as well as a headline appearance at the Bearded Theory festival at Catton Park in Derbyshire.
