Weezer: The Gathering, a major North American tour, is set for this fall with a stop at Fiserv Forum on October 7! Promoted by Live Nation, the 32-city arena run features special guests, The Shins and Silversun Pickups. Weezer: The Gathering follows the band’s sold-out return to the Blue Planet tour, celebrating 30 years of Weezer (The Blue Album).
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. To tie in the celebrations locally in Milwaukee, Fiserv Forum will be hosting a lunch takeover on Tuesday, March 31 from 11am-1pm at 3rd St. Market Hall and a pinball tournament at Blackbird Bar in conjunction with Milwaukee Record and Lilliput Records on Tuesday, March 31 from 4pm-6pm. At both celebrations, fans will have the opportunity to win Weezer tickets and merchandise.
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.
