Pixies Perform Ana Live at Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium

Venue: Lotto Arena Location: Merksem, Antwerp, Belgium Date: November 25, 2016

In the vibrant year of 2016, when Pixies took the stage at Lotto Arena in Belgium, they were riding high on the wave of their recent album, “Head Carrier,” released earlier that same year. This marked their first full-length offering since their reunion in 2004, rekindling their signature blend of punk rock energy and melodic innovation. Interestingly, the live recording of "Ana," from their 1990 album "Bossanova," showcases the band’s ability to bridge classic hits with their newer material. It’s a testament to their enduring appeal and a reminder of how their sound has evolved while still keeping the rawness fans fell in love with decades ago. Plus, “Ana” reflects that enchanting mix of surreal lyrics and catchy hooks that characterize much of their work. As they perform it in Belgium, you can feel that sense of nostalgia and excitement—both for the band and the audience who’ve grown alongside them.
