Pixies 2026 Setlist Predictions

What will the Pixies play on the P40 tour? Based on their recent concert history, including their 2025 Australia/New Zealand tour, the band has been drawing from across their entire catalog. Expect a healthy mix of Doolittle and Surfer Rosa classics alongside deep cuts and selections from their 2024 album The Night the Zombies Came.

Given that this is a 40th anniversary tour, expect them to lean even harder into the hits. Joey Santiago has previously suggested that performing full albums is “in their future,” so there’s real potential for a Doolittle or Surfer Rosa full-album night on select dates.

Fans can expect around 25–30 songs. Here’s what a typical Pixies 2026 setlist looks like based on recent shows:

1. Gouge Away
2. Debaser
3. Wave of Mutilation
4. Planet of Sound
5. Monkey Gone to Heaven
6. Here Comes Your Man
7. Tame
8. Caribou
9. Vamos
10. Is She Weird
11. Hey
12. The Happening
13. Nimrod’s Son
14. Dig for Fire
15. Cactus
16. No. 13 Baby
17. Ana
18. All Over the World
19. U-Mass
20. Velouria
21. Mr. Grieves
22. Cecilia Ann
23. In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song)
24. Head On
25. Crackity Jones

The Pixies’ encore almost always ends with “Where Is My Mind?” Expect the crowd to lose it completely. Songs from The Night the Zombies Came like “Mercy Me” and “Jane” are also likely to appear given how much the band toured behind that record in 2024–2025.

How Long Is a Pixies Concert?

Planning your night? Based on data from recent Pixies tours, a typical Pixies concert runs approximately 2 hours to 2 hours and 45 minutes. This includes a short break between sets or before the encore.
