Pixies have announced a European tour to mark the 20th anniversary of their second album Doolittle.

The band will play all the songs from the record at the concerts, in addition to the B-sides from their singles.

Doolittle includes a number of the group's best-known tracks, including 'Debaser', 'Tame', 'Gouge Away', 'Here Comes Your Man' and 'Monkey Gone To Heaven'.

Frontman Black Francis said: "We wanted to do something special for Doolittle's 20th anniversary and we thought this was a good opportunity to play all of the songs from that album, something we don’t normally do at a regular gig."

Tickets for the shows go on sale this Friday at 9am.

The full European tour dates are as follows:
  • October 1, 2 - Dublin, Olympia
  • October 4 - Glasgow, SECC
  • October 6, 7, 8, 9 - London, Brixton O2 Academy
