Pixies will perform in Limerick for the very first time with a special outdoor performance at King John’s Castle as part of their Pixies 40 worldwide headline tour.
Celebrating 40 years since their formation in 1986, Pixies mark this milestone with a show that promises to be one of the standout live events of the year. Founding members Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering, joined by bassist Emma Richardson, will take to the stage to deliver a career-spanning set that reflects four decades of ground breaking music.
From their first chaotic club shows to becoming one of the most influential alternative rock bands of all time, Pixies have never lost their edge. Their explosive live performances, marked by raw intensity and an unmistakable sound, have inspired generations of musicians and fans alike.
Across a catalogue that includes the jagged brilliance of Surfer Rosa (1988), the dark-pop mastery of Doolittle (1989), and their most recent acclaimed release The Night The Zombies Came, Pixies have consistently proven themselves to be innovators—shaping the sound of modern rock while staying true to their singular vision.
Four decades in, Pixies remain as vital, relevant, and unstoppable as ever. Their Limerick debut in the historic King John’s Castle will be a landmark night, celebrating one of music’s most pioneering bands in one of Ireland’s most iconic venues.
