In October, Matador is celebrating its 21st anniversary with three nights of shows at the, ahem, Palms Casino & Resort In Las Vegas, NV. Headlining the nights will be Pavement, Sonic Youth, Belle & Sebastian, and a reunited Guided by Voices, with Matador tagging them as “The Classic ‘93 - ‘96 Lineup.” Other performers (who are not at all ‘93 - ‘96 classic) include Spoon, Yo La Tengo, Cat Power, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The New Pornographers, Superchunk, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Guitar Wolf (yes!!), Chavez, Girls, Fucked Up, Harlem, Cold Cave, Shearwater, Kurt Vile, Jeffrey, and Joe Jensen.
Anyway, I’m basically regurgitating what you can already see on the poster above. Ticket information and more artist confirmations and expected to be announced July 5. Maybe Sleater-Kinney?
