Guided By Voices Reuniting to Help Matador Turn 21

It’s been five years since Robert Pollard put Guided by Voices to rest, but this October he’s assembling a “classic lineup” to reunite for Matador Records 21st birthday celebration. Who is included in this classic lineup remains to be seen, and given the constantly revolving cast of characters that was GbV, there could be endless possibilities. The awesome news doesn’t stop there though: Joining GbV “the Classic ’93-’96 Lineup” will be Pavement, Sonic Youth and Belle & Sebastian. That’s right, GbV, Pavement, Sonic Youth, and Belle & Sebastian will all be headliners. The “supporting” acts keep getting better and better too, with Spoon, Yo La Tengo, Cat Power, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Superchunk, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Guitar Wolf, Chavez, Girls, Fucked Up, Harlem, Cold Cave, Shearwater, Kurt Vile, and Jeffrey Joe Jensen (phew!) all on the bill, with more acts being announced July 5. All of this madness will go down October 1-3 at the Palms in Las Vegas. More on the mind numbing awesomeness of Matador at 21 here.
