Pixies are the first headliners announced for On The Mount at Wasing — one of the UK’s most distinctive concert series, set within a spectacular woodland amphitheatre in Berkshire.
Returning in 2026, On The Mount at Wasing unfolds on the breathtaking Wasing Estate (pronounced Way-zing) near Reading. At the heart of the countryside lies The Mount — a natural enclave unlike any other.
From the enchanting woodland trail that welcomes guests, to the wildflowers that bloom across the amphitheatre, every detail of this mindful space creates a truly transportive setting. It is here, immersed in nature, that audiences experience landmark performances from world-class artists. Set against the backdrop of one of the UK’s most unique and stunning outdoor venues, The Mount delivers a diverse programme rooted in music, nature, and connection’
From their first chaotic club shows, Pixies redefined what a live concert could be. No glamour, no stage banter -just a relentless, explosive surge of sound. A glimpse into a new way rock music could be performed. 1987’s Come On Pilgrim introduced Pixies’ surreal, fragmented songwriting. 1988’s Surfer Rosa proved they were unlike anything else and 1989’s Doolittle broke wider, twisting pop hooks into dark shapes and dragging swelling crowds into their jagged rhythm.
By the early ’90s, relentless tours across the US and Europe cemented Pixies as the essential alt-rock ticket before their 1993 split.
Their 2004 reunion was seismic: instant sellouts, Coachella triumph, and bigger audiences than ever. Sharper, fiercer, and now spanning generations, Pixies became living proof of their own influence with five acclaimed albums since 2014.
