Pavement to reform for Coachella?

Scott Kannberg has revealed that Pavement have been approached to play this year's Coachella festival.

However, the guitarist said that the American indie band, who split in 1999, may delay a possible reunion because it is "too soon".

"I don't see why [we shouldn't reform], you know, it could be a fun thing to do, go and play your favourite songs every night," he told Loud And Quiet. "Everything's fine now [between the band members]."

He continued: "2009 would be our 20-year anniversary too, so that'd be a good time to do it, but I think that's too soon, it might have to be pushed back later. Coachella keep asking our booking agent but our booking agent's pretty strong. He's waiting for the right number, I think."

Blur and The Killers are also rumoured to be headlining this year's Coachella.

Pavement bassist Mark Ibold and singer Stephen Malkmus said last year that they were open to the idea of working as a band again.

The group split in 1999 after a final gig at London's Brixton Academy. Their albums Slanted and Enchanted, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and Terror Twilight are considered some of the most influential indie albums of the 1990s.
