A Historic Run Comes to a Close

After sweeping across 32 cities, Weezer’s “Weezer: The Gathering” tour is set to conclude with an electrifying three-night stretch at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles—the band’s first massive show in the city in years. The tour launched in Sacramento on September 8, wowing fans with high-energy performances across the country.

The final leg features stops in San Diego (October 21) and Las Vegas (October 23) before the L.A. spectacle on October 24. Each night welcomes The Shins and Silversun Pickups as opening acts, promising a night of nostalgia and fresh energy.
