Weezer has announced a U.S. tour coming to Charlotte’s PNC Music Pavilion on June 24 with North Carolina indie synth-pop rockers Future Islands and California punk rock band Joyce Manor. Billed as Weezer’s Indie Rock Roadtrip!, the tour will also feature Spoon, Modest Mouse, Momma, and White Reaper for select dates.
Weezer released their fifteenth studio album, Van Weezer, in 2021 and a string of seasonal releases titled Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter in 2022. The band also announced and cancelled a Broadway residency last year “due to low ticket sales and unbelievably high expenses.” Weezer last performed in Charlotte back in 2018 at PNC Music Pavilion with the Pixies.
Future Islands, formed in 2006 by Samuel Herring, Gerrit Welmers and William Cashion at East Carolina University, famously played a show in Charlotte at The Milestone in 2010, which was documented by Noisey. The band released their sixth studio album, As Long as You Are, in 2020, and last played in Charlotte at The Fillmore in 2018.
You can sign up for Weezer’s mailing list to get access to the pre-sale happening Wednesday, March 1 at 11 a.m. (pre-sale code: OPENER). Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, March 3 at 10 a.m.
