After tons of teasing, Weezer have finally announced Weezer: The Gathering, a massive North American tour set for this coming fall. The 32-city arena run with special guests The Shins and Silversun Pickups kicks off September 8 in Sacramento, CA and travels across North America before wrapping October 24 in Los Angeles, CA. Weezer: The Gathering follows the band’s sold out Return to the Blue Planet tour, celebrating 30 years of Weezer (The Blue Album), as well as the global touring juggernaut Hella Mega, which saw the band selling out stadiums all over the world alongside longtime friends and co-headliners Green Day and Fall Out Boy.
Check out the full tour itinerary below, plus a link to grab tickets.
To celebrate this upcoming run, the band will be hosting events all over their hometown of Los Angeles for the next week – something they are calling Weezer: The Gathering – Initiation Week. From a trivia night at Barney’s Beanery this evening – giving even the most studied Weezerpedia reader a run for their money – to a pickleball tournament against the band themselves on Monday, March 30th, to other surprise moments around LA, Initiation Week is going to be one for the record books.
Weezer will also be releasing a new song next week on April 1 (NOT April Fools), from their forthcoming, still-untitled new album (release date TBC), which will be their first on new label Reprise/Warner Records. Entitled “Shine Again,” the song is everything fans love about Weezer and more.
Spanning more than three decades, Weezer are an instantly recognizable cultural force, with over 35 million records sold worldwide, cementing the foursome as an influential cornerstone of pop music. Indeed, songs from throughout their catalog have gone viral many times over the last ten years: currently, their song “Go Away,” a duet with Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino from their 2014 album Everything Will Be Alright In The End, is Top 40 on the Daily Viral Songs Chart, averaging around a million streams a day all over the world.
Tickets will be available starting with a Citi, Verizon, Mastercard, American Express, and Weezer fan club presale beginning Tuesday, March 31 at 10AM local time. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning Friday, April 3 at 10AM local time.
