Influential alternative surf rock band the Pixies have announced a one-off Christchurch show in December.
The Pixies will also stop off in Wellington and Auckland before finishing off their tour at the Town Hall in Christchurch on December 17.
Tickets go on sale at 2pm on Tuesday, April 5.
The Christchurch and Wellington legs will see the band perform their Surfer Rosa show, while Auckland is set to get a special show, comprising major hits and fan favourites from their extensive catalogue.
The United States-based rock band was formed in 1986 in Boston by guitarist Joey Santiago and songwriter Black Francis.
In February, Black Francis revealed he had written up to 40 new songs for the band's next studio album.
"We are thrilled to be able to announce our return to New Zealand in December following the untimely postponement of some of these shows back in 2020," the band members said.
"We will be returning to play two different sets across the tour: Performing Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa in their entirety - in Wellington and Christchurch.
"A brand new set featuring songs from across our catalogue, including some oldies and some brand new tracks in Auckland."
The band's previous New Zealand shows - including the sold out 2020 Auckland concert at Spark Arena - received positive reviews.
