The Pixies

[PastCaring]

Hi all! We've just heard that The Pixies are playing The Isle of Wight - but the ferry fare alone is a hundred and a half quid - and that's without the cost of the tickets, booking fee, driving to the south coast,etc But the Pastcaring Crew are definitely gonna need a Pixies fix this summer, if they're playing - and we're figuring that it might be cheaper to see 'em at a European fessie So, the big question is - Does anyone have any idea where they're likely to be playing in Europe this summer??

i'm hoping for Rock Am Ring - they would provide the boost that that line up needs!

[stubbs]

Im hoping for Benicassim!!

Lowlands, Beni or Rock Am please!

And yeah, you can get ferry and festival tickets that are like £10 more than the regular ticket cost... where the crap you going from?!

[guitarbaz]

concur on the Pixies for Sziget sentiment.

i can see it happening actually.

the IOW fest is crap now anyway, far too overcrowded to a dangerous level. in fact the same applies to all the major UK fests.

foreign festivals are the way ahead

I live on the Isle of Wight and if you have a basic swimming badge you should be able to swim it! just need £4 for a pot of goose fat to smear yourself in!

[PastCaring]

Nope, sorry, we can't swim! We thought about borrowing our mate's narrowboat - but we thought the coastguard might just notice a bright turquoise boat trying to cross the channel!?! And, anyway, it'll be great to have an excuse to go abroad for a couple of days (and, no, the IoW does NOT count as abroad as far as we're concerned! )

We're thinking maybe they'll play fessies in the couple of weeks either side of 14th June - so they don't have to keep crossing the Atlantic Frank Black's website is listing the IoW - but no other dates, as yet!

I'd like Way Out West please. Long shot, but they got some big acts last year....
