Pavement books first Cleveland concert in nearly 30 years

It's time to "Cut Your Hair" and get ready for the "Gold Soundz" of 1990s indie-rock this "Summer Babe."

Driving the news: Pavement has announced its first Cleveland concert in nearly 30 years as part of the band's 2026 tour.

• Frontman Stephen Malkmus and company will perform at the Agora on July 23.

Flashback: Pavement last played Cleveland in 1997 at the Odeon on the "Bright the Corners Tour."

💭 Troy's thought bubble: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame hasn't been the best at inducting indie rock acts.

• Bands like Pavement, The Smiths, Pixies and The Replacements are regulars on lists of snubs.
