Frank Black has announced a series of shows for early 2025, where he and original band will be performing the Teenager Of The Year album in full to celebrate its 30th Anniversary.

The Teenager Of The Year Tour starts on 15th January at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco and includes eleven US and Canadian shows before they head to Europe to perform the iconic venues, Le Trianon in Paris and The Palladium in London.

Originally released in May 1994, Teenager of the Year is now widely regarded as the defining statement of his solo career and the best album the Pixies never made. 

Pitchfork placed Teenager Of The Year in their Top 100 albums of the 90’s saying “beneath its veneer lie the moments brilliant enough to rival any of the Pixies’ 1990’s work, and Black’s greatest lyrical achievement.”  The album is also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, while the Quietus in 2014 said “Teenager Of The Year feels like a lost Pixies album in the way Ram feels like a lost Beatles album.  It’s colossal, it teems with innovation."

A new re-mastered version of Teenager Of The Year will be released by 4AD later this year.

Along with Frank Black, the band for the tour features Eric Feldman, Lyle Workman and Nick Vincent who originally appeared on the Teenager Of the Year album.

The band is: 
Frank Black on guitar and vocals 
Eric Feldman on bass and keys 
Lyle Workman on guitar 
Nick Vincent on drums 
Rob Laufer - keys, bass and guitar
