Pixies have just announced a string of U.S. tour dates in support of their latest album Head Carrier. The band will kick things off on April 21 with a gig at the Fox Theatre in Pomona, CA before making stops in select cities across the country. Public Access TV and Cymbals Eat Guitars are slated to appear as supporting acts on select dates throughout the tour.

Following a handful of California stops, the Pixies are set to play in a number of cities spanning the U.S. including Austin, Nashville, Boston and New York. Also among the slew of dates is a performance at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Music Festival, where the band will share the bill with The Shins, Cage the Elephant, Phoenix, The XX, LCD Soundsystem and more.

Pixies’ U.S. tour will come to a close with a show at Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, NY on May 26. They have a little over a month break before heading off to Europe to fulfill a number of festival appearances including London’s British Summer Time Hyde Park and the first annual Lollapalooza Paris (which features headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Weeknd).

Pre-sale tickets for Pixies’ North American tour are currently available via the band’s official website (with the password found here). General ticket sales begin Friday, Jan. 27.
