In the wake of the sellout of their headline appearance on the Sunday of this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival over a month in advance, Pavement now announce several new Midwest dates as well as their only planned appearance in Texas. The centerpiece of these additions to the September US tour is a WXRT-presented September 13 performance at the iconic Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Look for all four of these dates to go on sale this weekend:

Very few shows remain to be announced in Pavement’s reunion tour. No further appearances will be added in the Midwest. Start making plans today!

If fans didn’t already have reason enough to see Pavement play for the first time ever in the city of their birth on June 24 at the Bob Hope Theatre, we have a doozy. Legendary original drummer and recording engineer Gary Young will perform with Stephen Malkmus, Spiral Stairs, Mark Ibold, Steve West and Bob Nastanovich for the first time on this historic reunion tour!

Grab your tickets here while they last here.

The September 26 show in Atlanta sold out in one day and tickets are moving very rapidly in Kansas City, St. Paul, Boston and Philadelphia. All four New York shows have been sold out since the weekend they were first announced. The few shows not yet sold out in Europe are also selling very quickly as is the Olympic Island event in Toronto. Only a handful dates remain to be announced. Don’t miss YOUR chance to see the Pavement reunion!
