Pixies play celebratory Chile set

Pixies played a 35-song set in Santiago on Wednesday night to celebrate the release of the 33 trapped miners in Chile.

The band played the concert at the Teatro La Cúpula, with each song of the main set dedicated to each of the San Jose miners, plus a two-song encore.

In a statement, frontman Black Francis said: "We were so moved by this story, by how many lives had been affected by this, and how the Chilean people banded together to support what can only be described as a miracle.

"We wanted to do something to show how affected we were by this, so we played a special set at tonight's show, 33 songs for the 33 miners, the longest set we've ever played as a band.

"We found out five minutes before we went on stage that all of the miners had safely reached the surface. This was definitely one of the most meaningful shows we've ever played."
