Weezer

The legendary Weezer brings The Gathering World Tour to Oslo and Oslo Spektrum on May 29, 2027! The American rock band Weezer is embarking on their extensive The Gathering World Tour in 2027, and on Saturday, May 29, they will arrive at Oslo Spektrum. The tour marks the release of the band's upcoming self-titled album Weezer, which will be released on August 21, 2026, via Reprise/Warner Records. The album has already received glowing reviews, with Rolling Stone describing it as “one of the best Weezer albums of this century.” The international tour kicks off in February 2027 and will visit Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the United Kingdom. On the European leg of the tour, Taking Back Sunday will join as a special guest. Beach Bunny will also be supporting. Alongside the tour announcement, Weezer is releasing the new single “C.E.O.,” the third teaser from the upcoming album after “Shine Again” and “We Might as Well Be Strangers” (feat. Wednesday). The song explores the passage of time and the pressure many feel in trying to live up to expectations – both from the outside world and themselves. Weezer will be the band's 20th studio album, marking yet another chapter in a career that spans over three decades. The album is produced alongside Klas Åhlund and Kenneth Blume (formerly Kenny Beats), and it is the first album where three of the band's four members contributed to the songwriting. It is also the first time since the debut album that frontman Rivers Cuomo and drummer Pat Wilson have developed the core ideas for songs together. The result is an album that combines everything fans associate with Weezer: strong melodies, sharp guitar riffs, and self-ironic lyrics, infused with new energy and a modern expression. The songs reflect on life as a band, the passage of time, and the legacy they leave behind, while celebrating the joy of continuing to create music and inspire new generations of musicians. Since their breakthrough with the iconic “Blue Album” in 1994, Weezer has delivered a long list of classics such as “Buddy Holly,” “Say It Ain’t So,” “Island in the Sun,” “Hash Pipe,” “Beverly Hills,” and “Pork and Beans.” With millions of albums sold and a catalog that has made a lasting impact on alternative rock, Weezer is now regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of the past three decades. The last time the band visited Norway, they performed at Tons of Rock in 2025, and when The Gathering World Tour arrives at Oslo Spektrum on Saturday, May 29, 2027, the audience can look forward to an evening featuring both new songs and an impressive array of the band’s greatest hits!
