Nostalgic rock icons Weezer announce huge arena show in Manchester

Weezer have announced a massive gig in Manchester as part of an upcoming arena tour, celebrating a brand-new album release.

The nostalgic rock icons will be playing at the Co-op Live next spring, alongside gigs in UK cities including Leeds, Newcastle, and Glasgow.

The American rockers have announced The Gathering 2027 World Tour and released the music video for C.E.O, starring Tony Hawk, Curry Barker, and more.

They’ll also be releasing a self-titled new album, Weezer, on 21 August, which Rolling Stone has already called ‘one of the best Weezer albums of this century’.

It’s set to be their 20th (twentieth!!!!) studio album, joining chart-topping records like Make Believe, Maladroit, and the Green Album.

Weezer will be performing hits from their huge back catalogue, including Buddy Holly, Hash Pipe, and Say It Ain’t So.

The huge tour will kick off in the States in February next year before heading across to Japan and Europe.

And Weezer will have some huge support in the form of fellow American rock group, Taking Back Sunday.

Weezer will be performing at the Co-op Live in Manchester on Saturday 25 May, 2026.

You can pre-order the new album from the Weezer webstore before 3pm on Monday 10 August to get pre-sale access.
