Weezer?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fuck it. Bring 'em on. Never seen 'em. I was too old to ever really 'get' Pinkerton, but it's a cracking handful of tunes. 

[GlastoEls]

They've just said it again - Mrs GlastoEls is there in person!

[SwedgeAntilles]

Once seemed like it was just a crossed wires, twice means it's intentional.

Either they're at the windup or somehow they're actually turning up.

[thewayiam]

Would they really cancel a show in America to be at Glasto?

[FloorFiller]

i still think it's more likely he means 'in the future' rather than this year as obviously they're booked up that weekend and if they were playing they'd surely be in the first announcement. hopefully this means they're gonna make an effort to appear next year. long overdue

I'm wondering whether they even know when Glasto is, their managers must have given them really wrong information or they'll be there next year.

they'd have to cancel at least 2, probably 3, and they're co-headlining shows in a huge tour.

 

any other band I would have said they're cancelling the tour as they're too embarrassed to tour with Panic at the Disco, but it's Weezer....

[dentalplan]

Did they just say the same as the other night, ie. "see you at Reading, Leeds, Glastonbury and all the other UK festivals" following a thing earlier on about coming back to the UK more? Because that's perfectly harmless really, just meaning they're gonna try and play at some point (which is somewhat promising in itself) rather than an actual itinerary.

Those two articles seem to cite what they've said on stage although they make it seem as if it was a proper interview.

[FloorFiller]

“We’ll be back this summer to play Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury and all the other England festivals!”

if that's what they actually said then either they're fucking round with people or they just have no idea that they aren't booked for Glastonbury at all and are elsewhere at the time

[SwedgeAntilles]

I think those sites are taking a punt

[rfc_478]

Rivers definitely said something similar before Buddy Holly, but I kind of missed it due to enjoying myself! According to the mate I was with, he definitely mentioned Glastonbury. Social media is going mad about it, but they can't play this year...they can play Reading though! 

[sassy2012]

Possibly the Glastonbury extravaganza in September?

[Buddy Holly]

From seeing him say it in person I'm sure he must mean he's playing them this year. So either he's actually gone mad, they're playing on the Thursday, or they're cancelling US shows...

It really came across that way, seemed like a normal self-confirmation (if there is such a thing). Which is very odd, seeing as they can't play Glastonbury. Unless poor old Pensyllvania or New Hampshire are about to get fucked over!

Didn't catch what he said tonight properly but he definately mentioned Glastonbury.

 

Was amazing tonight by the way

he probably noticed how much attention it got when he said it the night before.

I'm going with it being bullshit until the tourdates in the USA are removed from their website.

Great gig last night. This is what they said exactly 'Thanks London, see you at Reading and Leeds and Glastonbury'.

I want it to be true so bad but I cant see it!!!

[jparx]

I dunno what Rivers is playing at but they 99% aren't playing. Unless of course they are doing a Thursday lineup with Radiohead and Weezer playing, but that would literally be my dream lineup (minus TOOL) so it almost definitely won't happen.

At least Glastonbury is on their radar. I'm keeping everything crossed they either headline the Other or sub headline the main next year. The possibility of Weezer into Radiohead is real...

This is my hope!!! They have caused a bit of a stir like the pixies did many years ago. Hopefully they will end up playing in a slot similar to the pixies.

You should be embarrassed at accepting a tour with Panic lol.

They won't be that high anyway, subbing Other yes.

I'm pretty sure Weezer would headline the Other stage if they played. Their 'tour' sold out in minutes and people have been desperate for them to play for years.
