To celebrate the upcoming run, the band is hosting events all over their hometown of Los Angeles for next week – which they are aptly 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 on Monday, March 30, to other surprise moments around L.A., Initiation Week is going to be one for the record books.   

Information about all Weezer: The Gathering - Initiation Week activities can be found HERE throughout the week. 

Weezer will also be releasing a new song next week on Wednesday, April 1 (NOT April Fools), from their forthcoming, still-untitled new album (release date TBC).  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 10 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 in the Top 40 on the Daily Viral Songs chart, averaging around a million streams a day globally.
