Pavement Kicks Off Reunion Tour with "Unserious" Stairway Cover!
Indie legends Pavement are back on stage, starting their reunion era with a bang at Mosswood Meltdown in Oakland. Don't miss the details on their hilariously mangled "Stairway to Heaven" cover!
Indie rock darlings Pavement have officially returned to the live music scene, kicking off the fifth calendar year of their second reunion era with a pre-party performance at the Mosswood Meltdown in Oakland, California. This highly anticipated show marks their first appearance since November, much to the delight of their dedicated fanbase.
The Mosswood Meltdown, set to be a three-day event in 2026, started with a bang last night. The pre-party lineup featured an impressive roster of acts including Christina's Trip, Memo PST, Vivian Girls, and Wednesday, culminating in a headlining set by the iconic '90s indie band, Pavement.
However, the talk of the town isn't just their return, but a particularly memorable moment from their set: a "very unserious" and "hilariously mangled" cover of Led Zeppelin's legendary "Stairway to Heaven." Known for their unconventional and often tongue-in-cheek approach to music, Pavement's rendition of the classic rock anthem surely left an impression, perfectly encapsulating their unique charm and wit. Fans and critics alike are buzzing about this unexpected and entertaining performance, proving that the indie icons are still as unpredictable and engaging as ever.
