Pavement, have announce a reunion tour in the UK & Europe for the fall of 2022. The legendary indie slacker band, are playing their first shows in over a decade. The tour will kick off in Leeds on October 17th, followed by dates in in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Manchester, culminating the UK leg with a four night residency at the Roundhouse in London. They will continue to dates in Paris, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Aarhus, Bremen, Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam and Dublin.

As previously announced, Pavement will also headline ES Primavera Sound Barcelona & Porto 2022. Pavement released five era-defining albums – Slanted And Enchanted (1992), Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (1994), Wowee Zowee (1995), Brighten The Corners (1997) and Terror Twilight (1999) – before disbanding in 1999. The band’s 2010 reunion saw them play four sold out benefit shows in New York’s Central Park, host a sold out four night residency at London’s Brixton Academy, and top the bills of worldwide festivals including Roskilde, Primavera Sound and Pitchfork Festival.

What went down during the intervening decade? A fair amount of fantasy sports, probably. Pavement also saw a b-side, ‘Harness Your Hopes’, turn into an improbable algorithmic “hit” on digital platforms. The band’s catalog – previously split between Matador, Domino, Drag City, and Treble Kicker and now represented worldwide by Matador – has seen a myriad of incarnations and bonus material unearthed, including career-spanning 2010 compilation Quarantine The Past, 2015 rarities collection A Secret History, Vol 1, deluxe editions of the band’s first four studio albums, and a 2019 picture disc commemorating the 25 th anniversary of Wowee Zowee.
