Someone please tell Kristen Stewart Pinegrove's back

Rather than being relegated to squint-to-see text that doubles as an eye exam, Pinegrove’s name was hard to miss, making it to the third row of the lineup for April 9 and April 16 on the Dua Lipa-headlined days, gaining a higher billing than American Football, the guys who practically invented the band’s whole schtick. I’ll wager that this inclusion will bring out the likes of Kristen Stewart, who got a Pinegrove tattoo in the late 2010s and declared them her favorite band, out to Indio.

If you’re not willing to shell out half of your rent or more to catch the newly reunited band at Coachella, you’re in luck. Pinegrove shared on Instagram that the 11-year anniversary reissue of 2015’s Everything So Far is coming soon, and teased that they’re “gonna play shows in 2027.” Here’s hoping the plurality use here means more than the two California dates. They also shared an old video of “&” from their Audiotree Live session prominently featuring Levine. Could that be a hint that Levine is back? Looks like we’ll know very soon.

Pinegrove announced their hiatus in April 2023 with an Instagram post, explaining that after touring in 2022, they had been “taking some time to regroup” and that, during this downtime, Levine “has decided his time with pg has come to a close.” The band added that they “know this wasn’t an easy decision for him & we support him 100%.”

After reflecting on Levine’s contributions to Pinegrove as someone who’d been involved since the project’s start, the group explained that each member would be focusing on their respective solo endeavors, leaving the band to “be on a more casual basis than you may have come to expect.” Frontman Evan Stephens Hall added that while he would play some solo performances, he and his bandmates had “no plans to perform as a band right now.”
