Pavement started in 1989, broke up in 1999, and then got back together for a whole lot of triumphant reunion shows in 2010. Since then, Pavement have not played a single show. The members of the band have all gotten back to doing the things that they were doing pre-reunion, and their obscure B-side “Harness Your Hopes” randomly became a streaming quasi-hit. In 2019, Pavement announced two more reunion shows, at the 2020 editions of the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona and Porto. Those were going to be their only shows in 2020. Neither show had a chance to happen. But now, Pavement are once again getting back together, and they’re playing more than two shows.
