Pavement

In 1999, when Pavement took the stage at the Glastonbury Festival, they were riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album "Wowee Zowee," released just a year prior. This album marked a bold creative shift, showcasing the band's willingness to experiment while maintaining their signature slacker rock vibe. Interestingly, despite the differences in tone throughout their discography, fans embraced their unique sound wholeheartedly. The live performance at Glastonbury is particularly memorable, as it captures the band's raw energy and playful interactions, something many regard as emblematic of their charm. Plus, it’s notable that this performance came just two weeks after the tragic passing of a beloved band member’s family member, adding a layer of emotional depth to the show. Overall, this set represents a poignant moment in Pavement's journey, cementing their status as icons of the '90s indie rock scene.
