It seems I might have been a bit premature in nixing the idea of The Pixies turning up in Byron Bay at the end of July.
The band announced on their Facebook page yesterday plans to return to New Zealand to play a show in Christchurch on the 1st August, before heading off to headline the Summersonic festival in Japan. That would fit in perfectly with a proposed Splendour stop off, but we’re yet to hear anything solid on that front.
All I can say is that they’ve been strongly rumoured for a while, so here’s hoping that might become a reality.
