Indie-rock royalty Pavement has officially confirmed a select run of summer 2026 live dates, marking their first concentrated tour since the conclusion of their massive 2022 reunion trek. The tour launches July 17 in Oakland at the Mosswood Meltdown and snakes through key stops in Portland, Minneapolis, and Chicago before a finale at Nashville’s hallowed Ryman Auditorium. Following a busy 2025 defined by a new best-of compilation and Alex Ross Perry’s unconventional Pavements biopic, this seven-city stretch proves the icons of lo-fi are far from finished. Tickets for the tour hit the market this Friday, January 16, and given the band’s enduring status as the definitive sound of 90s underground, expect them to vanish instantly. This run of shows is a high-octane reminder of why their jagged melodies and deadpan cool remain a fundamental blueprint for the alternative landscape.
