    When Pavement played NYC’s Sony Hall in October, 2025 as part of the NY Film Festival, Bob Nastanovich told the crowd at the end of the night that it would be the band’s “last show for a long time.” Not as long as he may have thought at the time, though, as this week Pavement were announced as one of the headliners at Austin’s Levitation festival in September.
