Psychedelic surf greats Pixies hit the road to tour North America, and they are visiting DC for two nights at the Lincoln Theatre on May 16 and May 17. The May 16 date already has sold out.

Pixies released their sixth studio album, Head Carrier, in September via Pixiesmusic and PIAS. The album marks the first publication where bassist Paz Lenchantin participated fully as a member of the band.

On the upcoming tour, Joey Santiago (guitar), Black Francis (guitar, vocals), David Lovering (drums), and Paz will introduce audiences to a new set designed by their production manager Simon Foster and lighting manager Myles Mangino.

Pixies announced that they will perform a setlist including classics and rarities as well as new songs from their recent albums.
