Some Fans Requested More Tour Dates
Several Pavement fans expressed excitement about the upcoming tour in the post's comments section. For instance, one commenter wrote, "feeling super blessed to be a Richmond resident," while another commented, "OMFG I'm finally going to see y'all."
However, quite a few fans expressed some disappointment about the short tour and requested more dates.

"No seattle, damn okay," stated a commenter.

Pavement Discussed Their Resurgence in Popularity
In a July 2022 interview with Radio Primavera Sound, the members of Pavement spoke about the band's resurgence in popularity, specifically their song "Harness Your Hopes." The band said that they believe the Spotify algorithm pushed out the song in different playlists. In addition, they said they think the younger generation may enjoy the 1999 song's playfully macabre lyrics.
Malkmus, the band's lead singer, also said he appreciated that "Harness Your Hopes," from the Spit on a Stranger EP, has found new life.
"Every artist, obviously, you would like to have a life beyond, your music to have a life where it takes its own life and goes a different direction," said Malkmus in the interview.
