Plan Your Visit
Weezer
Forming in Los Angeles in 1992, Weezer announced themselves to the world with their self-titled debut, Weezer, aka the Blue Album. Featuring enduring hits “Say It Ain’t So”, “Undone – The Sweater Song” and “Buddy Holly”, the album balanced the grunge-dominated alternative scene with infectious hooks, indie influences and sharp melodies, paving the way for decades of chart and critical success. With more than 35 million records sold worldwide, the GRAMMY Award-winning band have continued to evolve and endure, building a catalogue spanning 20 studio albums across more than 3 decades.
Whether embracing orchestral pop on OK Human, celebrating their metal influences on Van Weezer or finding new audiences through viral moments on TikTok, Weezer’s creative reinvention continues on their 2026 album, Weezer (Gold), which explores ageing, legacy and carrying on with the band’s trademark self-awareness.
SUPPORT
Third Eye Blind
Emerging from San Francisco in 1993, American alternative rockers Third Eye Blind commanded attention with their self-titled 1997 debut album, spawning enduring classics including “Semi-Charmed Life”, “Jumper” and “How’s It Going to Be”. The band quickly established themselves as one of the defining acts of the ’90s alternative rock movement, earning a Billboard Music Award, multiple California Music Awards and sustained chart and radio success.
With a reputation for energetic live performances, Third Eye Blind have toured alongside The Rolling Stones, U2, Jimmy Eat World and Smash Mouth. Their enduring catalogue and distinctive sound continue to connect with audiences across generations, cementing their place in alternative rock history.
SUPPORT
Fountains of Wayne
Fountains of Wayne have been a defining force in the power-pop revival since forming in the mid-’90s, building a reputation for sharp wit, infectious melodies and expertly crafted pop-rock. The New Jersey band broke into the mainstream with their 2003 album Welcome Interstate Managers, featuring breakout single “Stacy’s Mom”, which reached No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a GRAMMY Award nomination.
After unofficially disbanding in 2013, the band returned to the stage for their first official live performances in 2025, following the passing of co-founder Adam Schlesinger in 2020. Still armed with their trademark wit and earworm melodies, the band are entering a new chapter while celebrating a catalogue that continues to resonate with fans.
