Weezer: Australian Tour 2023
They're famous for singing about an island in the sun. In October, they're playing on one: Australia, including at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
Overview
Add Weezer to the list of acts that first made it big decades ago that are hitting our shores again, with the Los Angeles-formed alt-rock band heading Down Under this spring. Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Scott Shriner and Brian Bell will take to the stage in Brisbane as part of a whirlwind three-day, three-show trip — on Sunday, October 8 at Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
Expect the supremely cruisy, holiday vibe-heavy 'Island in the Sun' to get a spin, plus 'Undone — The Sweater Song', 'Buddy Holly', 'El Scorcho', 'Beverly Hills', 'Hash Pip', 'Pork and Beans' and more, all from across the group's three-decade career.
Brissie legends Regurgitator will warm up the crowd — another favourite that began rocking the airwaves in the 90s.
Weezer love a bit of a nostalgia, at least where their Aussie tours are involved. Back in 2020, they were announced for the Hella Mega Tour's Down Under run, which was meant to hit the country that November with Green Day and Fall Out Boy also headlining. Then the pandemic hit, and the trio's successful worldwide combined gigs cancelled its Australian plans.
