PIXIES will join the LOLLAPALOOZA bill this summer.

Guitarist Joey Santiago made the announcement for the band during a backstage press conference at the Coachella festival over the weekend.

"We're going to be playing Lollapallooza at the Ventura County Fair Grounds Friday the 24th of July and New York on the 17th Randall’s Island. Be there," he said.

The band have also extended their fall tour across the US, adding headline dates in nine cities including Miami, Washington DC and Sacramento.

Pixies said they have been practicing 40 songs to choose from for their live set. Singer Frank Black told reporters they reunited in Los Angeles, where they tuned up the old material.

2. I already have my Chicago tix...

...the Milwaukee show will make TWO Pixies concerts in one week!

Eat that up, Mr. I-Got-to-See-them-in-the-Great-Frozen-North-first! I will see them TWICE once they have had half a year to practice!

That is, if Charles and Kim don't split up the group before then.
