In celebration of the band’s 40th anniversary, alt-rock giants PIXIES make their long-awaited return to Cornwall, to rock the Eden Project on Friday 26th June 2026!
Get ready to hear that unmistakable “loud-quiet-loud” roar echoing around the biomes! Alt-rock legends THE PIXIES have been announced as the first headliner for the UK’s spectacular Eden Sessions in June 2026, setting the bar sky-high for what is shaping up to be a truly special season.
The American giants, fronted by the brilliant and erratic Black Francis, are set to storm the stage as part of their massive ‘Pixies 40’ world tour, celebrating four decades of genre-defining music. Fans can expect a blistering set packed with classics like the infectious earworm “Here Comes Your Man,” the abrasive masterpiece “Monkey Gone To Heaven,” and the eternally cinematic “Where Is My Mind?” a track whose influence on alternative rock is simply immeasurable.
This return to the Eden Project will mark a long-awaited Cornish gig for the band, and it’s a moment of shared celebration. The year 2026 sees THE PIXIES hit their 40th anniversary, coinciding perfectly with the venue’s own 25th birthday. The Eden Sessions, held in a dramatic, natural amphitheatre carved out of a former clay pit, offers a concert experience that’s truly unique. It’s hard to imagine a more stunning backdrop than the towering, illuminated biomes—massive geodesic domes housing rainforests and Mediterranean landscapes to witness one of the most influential bands in rock history.
It’s a full-circle moment for a band that helped usher in the alt-rock era, taking to a stage that’s as famous for its natural beauty and commitment to sustainability as it is for attracting world-class acts. Tickets are on sale now, don’t miss your chance to see rock royalty play in one of the most awe-inspiring venues on the planet.
