Weezer has been teasing an announcement for a little bit and now it’s been revealed! Turns out, they’ll be doing a tour with The Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr. called “Voyage To The Blue Planet.” If you’re wondering if this has anything to do with their debut “Blue” album, it certainly does. Let’s Look at 5 Reasons why Weezer’s upcoming tour is going to rock!
WEEZER’S TOUR – THE BLUE ALBUM
This tour is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut, known to many as the “Blue” album. It’s a debut that is super-solid. So well produced and executed with a number of big hits on it as well. It’s hard to believe that Weezer has been churning out music for 30 years, but it’s true. And as I said this was such a great debut. It had a big stadium-like sound, with so many harmony-filled parts and great guitar work. It’s really a 90’s classic!
OPENING ACTS
What’s also exciting is that they’re bringing out 2 bands that are very underrated and never really shined in the spotlight as much as they should have. So, we’ll get some great tunes from the opening acts as well! Dinosaur Jr in particular is really fun to watch perform and has such a fun and energized sound. While the Flaming Lips are so unique and experiment with many textures and vibes within their music.
I think it’s going to be difficult for Weezer to pull off some of the deep cuts on their debut because boy was there a lot of great vocal harmonies. But if you’ve seen Weezer in concert, you know they can do it. Plus, we’re getting other assorted hits during the show and rarities as well. It’s going to be an epic night at the Garden on September 11th. I really can’t wait!
Let’s take a look at 5 standout moments from their first album.
