Weezer?

[FuzzyDunlop]

l just left the Weezer gig at Manchester academy. (They were brilliant by the way)

Before playing Buddy Holly, Rivers said "See you all at Reading, Leeds and Glastonbury"

Im pretty sure they had been ruled out previously, but he 100% definitely said it. Both me and my mate heard it.

That would be amazing but they are on tour in the US

[FuzzyDunlop]

I thought they had been ruled out - I was really surprised when I heard it. If anyone else was there to verify the fact we sre not going mental, please do.

Shame though, they were really good tonight.

apparently put them under self-confirmed, too. It's weird because why would they say it if they weren't coming? I really hope they'll be there

Can't edit it for some reason. There should be '' in the beginning of the sentence

definitely booked up in America every day of the festival. how strange. is he just taking the piss/toying with people's emotions or did he just fuck up in thinking they were playing Glastonbury when actually it;s only Reading and Leeds?

Rivers likes trolling festival boards. Has nobody noticed before that Rivers Cuomo is an anagram of Mike99?

[kaytee...]

If not Glastonbury then I hope they're not playing us and will be at Leeds. The lineup is pretty poor for R&L at the moment so they would be a welcome addition

Someone else on Twitter saying that he said it too. Could have been a late booking so they might cancel one of the US dates like the Who did with Paris?

Really hope so, love Weezer

[weirdforces]

I asked some more people about it. Seems to be correct. They might have confused something though.

@FuzzyDunlop I was there too. Earlier in the set he said they'd be playing more shows over here in the future and at the end he definitely said 'see you at Reading, Leeds and Glastonbury and every other UK festival.' Obviously they're not playing EVERY UK festival but to namedrop those 3 seems weird if you're not playing

[wozwebs]

Dates fit for R&L but not Glastonbury

Reading and Leeds and Glastonbury are all UK towns, did he specify festivals? They might just be going on a road trip, taking in the sites, an innocent misunderstanding.

What other non-music festivals are there in Glastonbury?

Thanks for clarifying. Glad I wasn't hearing things. When he said Glastonbury I turned to my mste and said "did you hear that?" I obviously missed the "and every other uk festival"

My mate also mentioned in the car "I would see them at Glasto too" so he took it how I did.

Well they're either doing a 'Who', Williams Green on Thurs or mistaken.

Maybe in 2017...

That's the most plausible explanation, especially since most of the acts have been booked already.

be a bit weird for them to say it at a gig this year, and i also doubt Weezer would've been booked this far in advance, but here's hoping. one of the acts i'm hope is gonna pop up every year. would be one of the sets of the weekend for sure

[sophlamb]

Gutted. I got really excited at the idea of seeing them again so soon

They were really good tonight. At the time I thought £35 was a bit too much, but I paid up anyway as I had never seen them before and had always meant to. So glad I did. They did 1 hour 15, then a 2 song encore, but packed a good 20 tunes in. Worth the money.

Plenty of their older stuff too - for anyone who wanted a classic heavy set.

There's probably a village fete, flower show, vegetable competition. I dunno.

They'll be at all of them, probably handing out prizes.
