Pixies

In June 1989, when the Pixies performed at the Glastonbury Festival, they were riding the wave of success from their second studio album, "Doolittle," which had been released just a few months earlier in April. This album was pivotal in solidifying their presence in the alternative rock scene, featuring tracks like "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," and "Here Comes Your Man." The performance is notable not only for its energetic delivery but also as a key moment in the band's early career, showcasing their influential sound that blends punk and surrealist themes. The Glastonbury set effectively captured the burgeoning excitement surrounding the band, which would later contribute significantly to their legacy in the 90s alternative music explosion. "Doolittle" would go on to be regarded as one of their most critical works, influencing many artists and shaping the genre.
