Weezer is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1992, currently consisting of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, lead guitar), Patrick Wilson (drums), Brian Bell (rhythm guitar, backing vocals, keyboards) and Scott Shriner (bass, backing vocals). Weezer has sold 10 million albums in the United States and over 35 million records worldwide. Their catalog includes megahits like “Buddy Holly,” “Undone (The Sweater Song),” “Say It Ain’t So,” “El Scorcho,” “Hash Pipe,” “Island In The Sun,” “Beverly Hills,” “Pork and Beans,” and more. Over the course of their career, Weezer has won Grammys, MTV Video Music Awards, and more. Following their critically acclaimed 2016 and 2017 albums (Weezer [The White Album] and Pacific Daydream, respectively), and two sold-out amphitheater tours with Panic! At the Disco (2016) and Pixies (2018), Weezer has released a fan-inspired cover of Toto’s “Africa.” The cover

propelled the band back onto the charts around the world, giving Weezer their FIFTH #1, TENTH Top 5, and SIXTIETH Top 10 at Alternative Radio, as well as a Top 5 on the Hot AC chart. It has since gone platinum. In early 2019, they surprise-released a covers album—Weezer (The Teal Album)—which has been streamed over a hundred million times since its release. In 2021, Weezer released two very different but equally Weezer-esque albums: OK Human, an orchestral pop album that meditates on technology and disconnection, and Van Weezer, an homage to the band’s shared metal roots growing up. OK Human’s first single, “All My Favorite Songs,” was one of the biggest rock hits of 2021 and was later nominated for a Grammy for “Best Rock Song.” In 2022, the band released SZNZ, a four-EP project inspired by Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, and completed the European leg of the

Hella Mega tour, which sold out stadiums in the US the previous year. In 2023, the band embarked on an incredible, sold-out tour across North America, called Indie Rock Road Trip, which was hailed as one of the best tours of the summer. May 10, 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of Weezer’s iconic and critically acclaimed self-released debut, also known as the Blue Album. The band will soon kick off a massive North American celebratory tour, Voyage To The Blue Planet, with Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr. supporting.
