Pavement Confirm Plans To Reform For 2010 World Tour

Pavement have confirmed that they are to reform in 2010 for a series of shows around the world.

The band, who have been widely rumoured to get back together, will consist of Mark Ibold, Scott Kannberg, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West.

Their first confirmed show will take place at Rumsey Playfield in New York's Central Park on September 21, 2010.

Pavement, who formed in 1989, developed a significant cult following following the release of their 1992 debut 'Slanted and Enchanted'.

The group played their last gig together at Brixton Academy in London in November 1999.

In a statement, their record label Domino said “the band would like it to be known that the tour does not constitute a full on permanent reformation”.

Tickets for their New York show go on sale tomorrow (September 18) at 10am (EDT).
