Xfinity Center - MA
A raucous rockfest for the ages will come knocking at the stylish Xfinity Center in Mansfield on Sunday, June 16, featuring indie icons Pixies & Modest Mouse, with special guest Cat Power! Extended from last year’s SOLD-OUT joint tour, this summer roadshow will bring our co-headlining acts’ intoxicatingly offbeat music to 23 cities throughout the country. Experience the 1990s during the momentous alt-rock boom through Pixies’ jagged melodies and bizarrely brilliant songwriting. From the Platinum-selling Doolittle to the new Doggerel album, this Boston Music Award-winning band will shock and awe with their irresistibly catchy classics, such as “Letters to Memphis” and “Here Comes Your Man.” Next, we have Modest Mouse, the GRAMMY-nominated band behind the Billboard 200 no. 1 album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Feverishly punky, sharp, and anthemic, the group will cook up a set from some of their greatest songs, often showcasing Alternative Airplay hits “We Are Between” and “Float On.” Book your tickets today!
Pixies & Modest Mouse shook North America to its core last year, and now, they’re doing it all over again! Together with guest singer Cat Power, these indie rock titans will break out a smoldering summer tour that’ll take their electrifyingly eccentric music to 23 stages across the United States and Canada, with most dates sponsored by Live Nation Entertainment. Free up your weekend on Sunday, June 16th, because the rockfest is heading to Mansfield, Massachusetts, for a show-stopping all-out performance LIVE at the Xfinity Center!
Lend your ears to the Platinum-certified sound that helped shape the legacies of Nirvana, Radiohead, and The Smashing Pumpkins. One of the forerunners of the ‘90s alt-rock movement, Boston Music Award winner Pixies introduced a new unconventional style to the genre that guided an exciting wave of offbeat musical experimentation, kicking off with the iconic Surfer Rosa and Doolittle albums. Vibrating basslines. Jagged guitar progressions. Heart-thumping “quite-loud” dynamics. Dare a taste of the unexpected with the group’s crowd-cruising setlists, often featuring Billboard Double A classics “Here Comes Your Man,” “Monkey Gone to Heaven,” and fan-favorite hit “Where Is My Mind?”
Up next, you’ll get Modest Mouse, coming in hot from the recent 25th Anniversary tour of their breakout second album, The Lonesome Crowded West. Renowned for their raw and rule-breaking take on punk-inspired indie rock, this eclectic band will rile you up with the acclaimed arena anthems of a Platinum-selling, Billboard 200 chart-topping discography from the GRAMMY Award-nominated Good News for People Who Love Bad News to new-age, psychedelic The Golden Casket. A wide-eyed night of feverishly volatile rock jams awaits, ladened with atmospheric Alternative Airplay smash hit singles like “Lampshades on Fire,” “Float On,” and “Ocean Breathes Salty.”
As for our opening act, sadcore queen Cat Power will ascend the stage on an intoxicatingly somber note. Famous for her Billboard 200 Top 10 album Sun and other similarly successful records, this singer-songwriter offers folksy punk and blues melancholia in the form of songs such as “Sea of Love” and “The Greatest.”
Jam under the stars of the Massachusetts sky this Sunday, June 16th, in the Pixies & Modest Mouse concert LIVE at the Xfinity Center! This massive outdoor amphitheater can hold a sea of 20,000 fans, entrancing them with its signature light shows, immersively transporting ambiance, and top-of-the-line acoustics.
