iTunes Festival 2013 Day 25 Live Stream: Watch The Pixies Online Here! [VIDEO]

In 2004, the Pixies got together for a world tour that ended up extending for seven years. But fans who turned out to see them didn't get a taste of any new material. Now, as the band performs on Day 25 of the iTunes festival, those who show up to the Roundhouse in London - and those who catch the live stream - might be so lucky as to hear them perform work from their first new album in 22 years. Longtime bassist Kim Deal won't be part of the action, though. Deal recently left the band in what the other members say was a "shock". Black Francis told CNN earlier this month that she dropped the bomb on them in a coffee shop band members used to frequent. "Everyone would go [to the shop] looking for their coffee, so inevitably, one, or two, or three or four band members would be there. We were there, and she just said, 'I'm leaving on the next flight tomorrow.'"

For 24 days, some of the most highly touted names in music have done their thing on the London stage. But don't look away yet: this last week of performances features some of the most highly anticipated names in the festival. After the Pixies rock the stage tonight, here's a look at what's to come: September 26 (Tinie Tempah); September 27 (Dizzee Rascal); September 28 (John Legend); September 29 (Justin Timberlake); September 30 (Katy Perry, Iggy Azalea, Icona Pop). Check out what you might have missed earlier in the month here.

So with all these performances already behind us, and with a grip of them still on deck, one might ask why Apple is going to the trouble. In a CNN article published earlier this month, Fortune's Jim Dalrymple wrote that he thought the company was doing it to send a message to the public that they care about music, not just the technology that lets you hear it. "So what is Apple getting out of running iTunes Festival?" Dalrymple wrote. "As subtle as the message is, I think Apple is telling the world that music still matters to them. The iTunes Store is what helped Apple become the company it is today-the iPods and selling music online transformed Apple into a household name that made consumer products, not just Macs."

So let's get to the point here: the Pixies have held out on us for 22 years, and you want to see them play some of their new stuff. Do you have an Apple TV? If so, it'll be easy for you. All you've got to do is access the pre-installed app "iTunes festival" to live stream performances as soon as the Pixies hit the stage at 4 pm EST. Don't have an Apple TV? No worries. If you've got an iOS device, you can just download the free app here to watch the live stream. If you don't have an iOS device either, no reason to worry. Just use Apple software on your computer to watch Frank Black and the boys as they perform live by downloading iTunes and clicking here to watch using Apple software.
