Pixies Announce New Zealand Tour for November 2025

PIXIES have announced a 2025 New Zealand tour which will see the alt-rock legends perform two consecutive nights in both Auckland and Wellington. On the first night, they’ll play fan favourite albums, 1990’s Bossanova and 1991 follow up Trompe Le Monde in their entirety, followed by a cross catalogue set and songs from their new album The Night The Zombies Came on the second night.

Pixies have just released their tenth studio album The Night the Zombies Came to critical acclaim, with MOJO saying, “This most thrillingly deathly of bands remains alive” and DIY stating, “Pixies remain one of the most consistent, influential bands on the planet”.

Pixies wowed UK fans in August with their mainstage performance at London’s All Points East, described as “raucous” by Rolling Stone UK after their sold-out Glasgow Academy show was tipped as “a full-on head rush of classics” by the Scottish Sun and “as relevant in 2024 as they were over 35 years ago” by Glasgow World.

35 years since their groundbreaking Platinum-certified album Doolittle catapulted the band into the UK Top Ten, and 20 years since their celebrated reformation at Coachella, Pixies are deep into their second act, and in the midst of a creative purple patch.

How do I purchase Accessible Seating tickets?

We’ve updated our seating framework to include a larger range of accessible seating options. There will be an option for every price level and package available for Pixies.

Accessible seats can be purchased by calling our Customer Service team on the Accessible Bookings line: 09 970 9711.

Accessible tickets, both during presales and the general public sale period, can also be requested via our Submit a request – Ticketmaster Help. Please be sure to include your relevant presale code with your request if wanting to make a booking during the presale period.

Will there be a queue in place prior to ticketing going on sale?

We expect that tickets to Pixies will be in high demand, and to make the process fair for everyone you may be placed in a queue.

You will be assigned a random place in the queue once the onsale starts. Your place in the queue is not based on what time you entered the Waiting Room. We suggest entering the Waiting Room 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the Presale.

Once you get your spot in the queue, please do not refresh your browser as you will be pushed to the end of the line.

We will get you through the queue as quickly as possible, so please sit tight.

How will I receive tickets?

All tickets purchased through Ticketmaster are now digital, meaning you can easily access your tickets on your phone via the Ticketmaster app or mobile web browser via Ticketmaster.co.nz, add them straight to your phone’s ticket wallet, and share them with your friends and family.
