Indie rock bands Pixies and Modest Mouse are teaming up for another co-headlining tour this summer, with 23 dates announced across North America. The tour kicks off on May 31 in Charleston, South Carolina, and concludes on June 30 in Denver, Colorado. Last year's joint tour was a huge success, with sold-out shows and high grosses. Highlights included two nights at McMenamins Edgefield Amphitheater in Troutdale, Oregon, grossing over $700,000, and two nights at The Salt Shed in Chicago, grossing over $760,000.
The upcoming shows will also feature Cat Power as the supporting act, and tickets will go on sale starting January 26. Citi and artist presales will begin on January 25. The tour is promoted by Live Nation, except for a few select dates.
Both Pixies and Modest Mouse have a dedicated fanbase and have been influential in the indie rock genre. The joint tour is expected to be a must-see event for fans of both bands.
