Pixies
Pixies live performance at Heineken Jammin' festival in Imola
In June 2004, when Pixies graced the stage at the Heineken Jammin' festival in Imola, Italy, they were riding a wave of renewed popularity after their reunion. This performance came just a few years after they ended a decade-long hiatus in 2004, leading up to the release of their first studio album in over a decade, "Indie Cindy," which would follow in 2014. Interestingly, their return to the live scene was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, showcasing a blend of nostalgia and fresh energy from old and new fans alike. One standout aspect of the show is how the Pixies managed to maintain their signature sound—an eclectic mix of punk rock and dreamy pop—while reflecting the raw energy that initially drew audiences to them in the late '80s and early '90s. Their setlist during this live recording undoubtedly captured the essence of their classic hits, reminding fans why they had left such an indelible mark on the alternative rock landscape.
