Iconic American rockers Pixies are the latest act to be announced to play at a huge series of gigs at Halifax’s Piece Hall next summer.
The band – whose sound defined a musical era – will headline the historic venue on Wednesday, August 21. Pixies are named as one of the most influential, pioneering bands of the late 1980s alternative rock movement, influencing the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, The Strokes, Weezer, and many more. Quirky, catchy melodies have always been Pixies’ calling card and their albums include ‘Platinum Doolittle’ – considered one of the all-time, quintessential alternative rock albums.
The band join Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Richard Ashcroft, Jess Glynne, McFly, Fatboy Slim, Loyle Carner and rock legends Status Quo for Live at The Piece Hall 2024 headliners, with many more to be announced very soon. The Halifax show is co-promoted by The Piece Hall Trust and Cuffe and Taylor. Nicky Chance-Thompson, CEO of The Piece Hall Trust, said: “What a coup to get this iconic band to Halifax.
