Californian quartet behind hits including 'Buddy Holly' and 'Island In The Sun'
Weezer are one of the most influential indie rock bands of the last 30 years. Formed in the early 90s in California by Rivers Cuomo, Pat Wilson, Matt Sharp and Jonathan Cropper, the quartet rocketed to fame with their self-titled debut (aka The Blue Album) in 1993. The single ‘Buddy Holly’ became a huge hit, helped on by its Happy Days-referencing, Spike Jonze-directed video.
Following the critically acclaimed Pinkerton, Weezer were launched back up the charts with another self-titled effort, better known as The Green Album and its hit singles ‘Hash Pipe’ and ‘Island In The Sun’.
The band went on to land hits with Frank & Beans, Beverly Hills and All My Favourite Songs, and released four more self-titled albums (colour-themed Red, White, Teal and Black) as well as a Van Halen-themed metal album Van Weezer and the much gentler, orchestral OK Human. Over the years, they’ve famously covered Metallica (‘Enter Sandman’) and Toto (both ‘Rosanna’ and ‘Africa’) and duetted with Kermit The Frog for a Muppets tribute album.
In 2025, Weezer were announced to perform within the Grade I listed surrounds of The Piece Hall in Halifax as part of the heritage destination's outdoor summer programme – TK Maxx presents Live At Piece Hall 2025 – in what marked the witty rocker's only UK headline performance of the year. They were also revealed as special guests for Deftones' own headline show in Crystal Palace Park.
