Pixies have dropped new single, “Motoroller,” the track, is the latest off the legendary indie band’s forthcoming LP The Night the Zombies Came, available October 25 via BMG. The single comes alongside the news that Pixies will return to the UK and Europe in April and May 2025 for a 20-date headline tour, including nine UK shows with two nights at London’s O2 Brixton Academy.

“Motoroller” follows frontman and principal songwriter Black Francis on a scooter ride across Berlin. Speaking on the track, Francis says: “This is one of those kinds of songs where there’s little threads you can follow and they take you somewhere. But they’re not required for the experience. You can just start fishing around in the lyrics, and maybe you won’t find exactly what the story is, but you’ll find a story related to the city of Berlin. So just have fun with the clues that are there.”

“Motoroller” follows singles “Oyster Beds,” “You’re So Impatient,” “Que Sera, Sera,” and “Chicken.

In addition to the Brixton academy shows, Pixies will kick off their 2025 UK and European headline tour in Utrecht, Netherlands, on April 25, with performances across Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal before arriving at the P&J Arena in Aberdeen on May 13. The tour continues with nine dates across the UK at O2 Academy Edinburgh, shows at O2 Academy, Leeds, Academy Birmingham, Cardiff’s Utilita Arena, and Newcastle City Hall, before concluding at O2 Manchester on May 25.
