Pixies announce 'Doolittle' tour and ticket details
Frank Black and co to play shows in London, Dublin, Glasgow
Pixies have announced details of a European tour for October that includes shows in London, Dublin and Glasgow.
Frank Black and co will play two nights at the Dublin Olympia, four at the O2 Academy Brixton in London and one at the Glasgow SECC.
The gig run will be named the 'Doolittle' tour to mark the 20th anniversary of the release of that album.
Pixies will play all the songs that feature on the album and its related b-sides at the shows.
The band are set to release a new career-spanning box set, 'Minotaur', in September. They played an impromptu live gig in London earlier this month at an exhibition of the set's artwork.
Pixies will play:
Dublin Olympia (October 1, 2)
Glasgow SECC (4)
O2 Academy Brixton (6, 7, 8, 9)
Frankfurt Jahrhunderhalle (11)
