One of the outright highlights of this year’s Docs Ireland (and there are many) Pavements is what happens when a band that made irony sacred becomes the subject of a documentary that doesn’t believe in borders.
Part doc, part fiction, part mockumentary, part museum, part musical, part meta-headfuck, it’s a 90s indie fever dream that starts with the 2022 reunion and spirals into something way stranger, way funnier, and way more moving than it has any right to be.
If you’ve ever argued that the Live Europaturnén MCMXCVII bootleg has the definitive ‘Fight This Generation,’ if ‘Rooftop Gambler’ lives rent-free in your DAT-ripped playlists or if you’ve side-eyed a crowd for clapping during ‘Half a Canyon,’ you’ll want to be at the Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast on Wednesday, 25th June (from 7pm).
Last tickets here.
