Two veteran alt-rock acts that continue to make new music that matters, Pixies and Weezer have announced a seven-week co-headlining North American tour for summer 2018.

Though Weezer and Pixies have shared stages in the past, this marks their first full tour together.

The tour comes to Blossom on July 11.

“We’re all big Weezer fans,” says Pixies’ frontman Black Francis in a press release announcing the dates, “so we’re really looking forward to this summer. We have a lot of respect for Weezer, they’re not afraid to take risks with their music.”

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 10.
