Weezer

The “Indie Rock Roadtrip” tour brings two ’90s alt titans to Madison: Weezer and Modest Mouse. You know Weezer from still-ubiquitous hits like “Buddy Holly” and “Island In the Sun;” last year’s SZNZ project was four seasonally themed EPs. Modest Mouse’s album The Lonesome Crowded West remains a critical favorite from the ’90s, and it led major label successes like the Billboard album chart topper We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Along for the road trip is Los Angeles buzz band Momma, making this a can't-miss show for rock fans.

media release: Time to hop in the car, load up the playlists and snacks, and join Weezer and some of the biggest names in indie rock for what will be the tour of the summer. Introducing (*drum roll please*)… Weezer’s Indie Rock Roadtrip!  A 30-city run of Weezer shows, Weezer’s Indie Rock Roadtrip! pairs the alt legends with alternating support from iconic bands of the last fifteen years as well as the coolest up-and-comers:  Modest Mouse and Momma, Future Islands and Joyce Manor, Spoon and White Reaper. The June 14 Madison date at Breese Stevens Field will feature support from Modest Mouse and Momma.

These shows are the first batch following the band’s incredible SZNZ project last year, which yielded the #1 Alternative radio singles “Records” and “A Little Bit Of Love.”  The most inventive project to date from the band, SZNZ was a celebrated collection of EPs, made in realtime, all matching the aesthetic and sounds of each season. The completed project features some of the most inspired, exciting songs within the much-loved Weezer discography.
