Pixies Japan 2025 – Schedule & Ticket Information

Overview

Pixies, the iconic American alternative rock band formed in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts, are known for their influential blend of punk, surf rock, and abrasive yet melodic sound. Comprising Charles “Black Francis” Thompson IV (vocals, guitar), Joey Santiago (lead guitar), David Lovering (drums), and Paz Lenchantin (bass, backup vocals, since 2013 replacing Kim Deal), the band’s cryptic lyrics and Black Francis’s distinctive yowling delivery shaped the late ‘80s/early ‘90s alt-rock scene, influencing acts like Nirvana and Radiohead. Their 2025 Japan tour, part of the Japan Tour 2025, follows the release of their 10th album, The Night the Zombies Came (October 2024), and marks their first Japan shows since 2022. Posts on X highlight the “electric energy” of their live performances and anticipation for hits like “Where Is My Mind?” and “Here Comes Your Man.” The tour includes stops in Osaka and Tokyo, with tickets starting at ¥9,800 (official) and ¥12,571 (secondary market). Limited tickets remain due to high demand.
