The Pixies are finally coming back to Israel, after canceling concerts twice in the past two years, and will perform July 11 at Expo Tel Aviv.
All tickets sold for the original 2020 concert will be honored for this long-awaited show, now with the addition of Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains, onstage with his solo show. Tickets are available for the joint Pixies-Cantrell show.
Cantrell’s new album, “Brighten,” his first solo work in 20 years, was released in 2021 to enthusiastic reviews.
Cantrell will also perform on July 10 with his band at Barby Tel Aviv.
The Pixies first performed in Israel at Bloomfield Stadium in 2014, selling out that concert as well as two shows in 2017 in Caesarea.

We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to keep real human reporting like this going.
