Weezer Honored as Billboard Legends of Live as Rivers Cuomo Reflects on the Road Life: ‘A Mission I Want to Take On’

Weezer received the Legends of Live award at the 2026 Billboard Live Music Summit in Los Angeles, where Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson and Scott Shriner discussed the band’s touring career. The recognition reflects a touring business that has remained active almost every year since 2008, and Cuomo described life on the road as difficult but meaningful.

The band is currently headlining arenas on its global Weezer: The Gathering Tour, averaging $1.1 million per show in 2026, according to Billboard Boxscore. Shriner said he enjoys travelling and performing, while Wilson highlighted bringing his family on tour; Cuomo said he plays pickleball for ten minutes before shows. The tour’s house-like stage design aims to recreate the closeness of making the album together in a small room.
