Pixies close fine day of Reading rock

26 August 2005

The band delivered a greatest hits set on the Main Stage much to the hysteria of their adoring fanbase, whose singing at times drowned out frontman Black Francis. It was a poignant performance that marked their return to the festival after 15 years away.

The full set-list was:

U-Mass
Head On
I Bleed
Crackity Jones

Bone Machine
