Pixies will play two intimate gigs in London this summer, it’s been announced.

The band are set to perform at The Troxy venue on June 3 and 4.

Making the announcement, Pixies said the shows would be “the first of many”, and told fans to sign up to their mailing list.

It was reported recently that the group, who reformed in 2009, are due to record a new studio album later this year.

They are also set to headline the Primavera Sound festival in May.
