Pavement have returned today to announce a one-off performance at New York’s Sony Hall in advance of the premiere of Pavements, Alex Ross Perry’s highly-anticipated film on the legendary band. Set to make its U.S. debut with three limited screenings on Oct. 2, 4 and 7 at Lincoln Center and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (after premiering in Venice earlier in September), Pavements sketches the unique subversions of the indie-rock innovators and jeers at the state of music films with a highly unconventional two-hour, part-biopic, part-documentary, part-musical epic. To herald its arrival, the band will make its single performance on Oct. 1.
The intimate audience of Pavement’s Sony Hall show will be the smallest in recent memory for the vaunted group, who haven’t staged a headline performance in the U.S. since a September 2023 residency at Brooklyn Steel. Through the summer, the band made a handful of festival appearances stateside and abroad, including São Paolo, Brazil’s C6 Fest and Seattle’s Bumbershoot Festival. The group is currently slated to headline Chicago’s Riot Fest on Sept. 21, after which they will “take a well-earned break of indeterminate length,” per a release. The Sony Hall show is billed as “One last chance to see America’s most beloved rock ’n’ roll group” before this break.
Tickets for Pavement’s Oct. 1 performance will go on sale this Friday, Sept. 20, at 10 a.m. ET.
