Pavement announce summer tour dates

Despite having not released a new album in 26 years, Pavement have been a particularly busy band in recent years. They first embarked on a reunion tour in 2022, which continued into 2024, and have seen a b-side, of all things, become a second-act streaming hit. They were the subject of the documentary(-ish) film Pavements, plus they played a handful of shows last year despite not doing any major touring and released (another) best-of compilation.

Now, they’re heading back out on the road with another new set of dates. They’re playing a pre-party for the Oakland festival Mosswood Meltdown, followed by a series of theater shows throughout July. Check out those dates below.
