[quote style=’1′ cite=”]”For nearly 30 years Pixies have been one of the most revered rock bands in the world and have inspired a galaxy of other top artists.

We are massively excited to be able to welcome them to Eden. It feels like Pixies and the Sessions is a marriage made in rock heaven. With their addition to an already massive bill, this promises to be our best Sessions season ever.”[/quote]
