The shows are scheduled to take place at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound and the festival’s Portuguese edition NOS Primavera Sound Porto. The exact dates and further details are still to be revealed.

Pavement originally disbanded in 1999, after releasing their fifth studio album Terror Twilight. The band reunited in 2010 for a worldwide tour and released compilation album Quarantine the Past: The Best of Pavement. Following the end of the tour, the group decided to go on a hiatus once again.

Since then there were numerous rumors about Pavement’s reunion, but the bandmembers remained tight-lipped about the topic until Malkmus’ appearance on “Rolling Stone Music Now.” When asked about the band’s future, the 53-year-old vocalist and guitarist said that the group might reunite if there is enough interest from the fans for such a thing.

“Anything’s possible,” said Malkmus. “If there’s interest, then that’s always a factor. If people are really psyched about it, I’d be psyched about it too. So we’ll see.”

Fans of Pavement have slowly gotten used to the idea that the band may have turned their guitars in for good. As talented as they are, the group split in 1999 and didn’t reunite until 2009. This reunion was also short-lived and it has been 10 years now since we have heard from them.

Earlier this year, Stephen Malkmus told Kyle Meredith that he wasn’t “so keen” on the idea of a reunion any time soon.

“We put our heart into this record [new album with The Jicks, ‘Sparkle Hard’]. And I have some other tricks up my sleeve”, he explained. “Combine that with things like my wife’s career and family, I’m full time with my life, so I don’t know if I have time for a Pavement reunion.”

In a recent interview with the Rolling Stone, however, Malkmus revealed that he has had a change of heart. When asked about the reunion he responded with the rather promising: “You know, realistic. Anything’s possible.”

“If there’s interest, then that’s always a factor, he added. “If people are really psyched about it, I’d be psyched about it too. So we’ll see.”
