The Pixies are to reunite for the first time in more than a decade with a world tour next April, according to reports.
If the tour goes well it could be followed by a new studio album, a spokesman for the legendary indie band told MTV.
All four original members, singer/guitarist Frank Black, bassist/singer Kim Deal, guitarist Joey Santiago and drummer David Lovering, would be involved in the tour.
The band has not yet begun rehearsing for the tour, but, given their ugly breakup in 1993, the announcement is one of the most unlikely and anticipated reunions in the history of indie rock.
In July, Black told London's XFM Radio that he still dreams about a Pixies reunion and he revealed that the group occasionally gets together for informal jam sessions, "but not for public consumption".
