Pixies 40th anniversary UK and European tour: Ticket info, dates, venues, and more explored

Pixies have officially announced a run of shows to celebrate their 40th anniversary. The band will take their music across the globe in 2025 and 2026 as part of the "Pixies 40" world tour.

The newly announced UK and European dates have been scheduled between May and July 2026. The leg will follow shows in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Hawaii later this year. The upcoming tour announcement comes after the release of The Night The Zombies Came in 2024. It is their most recent studio album and the tenth in their career.

Notably, Pixies' founding members Black Francis, Joey Santiago, and David Lovering will be joined on this run by bassist Emma Richardson. She became part of the lineup in 2024.

Pixies announced the upcoming UK/EU tour via an official Instagram post, which read:

"P40 • Celebrating 40 Years of PIXIES 026 marks the 40th year of the bands formation. In celebration we’re pleased to announce that we are heading back on the road. Announcing the first of many tour dates for next year ckets are on-sale on Friday morning."

This UK and Ireland leg will kick off in York on May 20, 2026. Then, Pixies will move through Dunfermline, Manchester, Limerick, and Dublin. A highlight of the run is expected to be the band's first-ever performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 28, 2026.
