Weezer Share Nostalgic New Track ‘C.E.O’, Announce World Tour Dates
Weezer have released a new single, ‘C.E.O.’, from their forthcoming album ‘Weezer’ (also known as ‘The Gold Album’), alongside an announcement of expanded world tour dates. The track continues the band's trademark off-kilter alt-rock sound, and its accompanying video playfully revisits the setup of their classic ‘Undone (The Sweater Song)’, featuring cameos from Tony Hawk, Rob Riggle, Michael Peña and other guests.
The new album arrives on 21 August via Reprise/Warner Records and also features the previously shared track ‘We Might As Well Be Strangers’. The band's ‘The Gathering’ tour has been extended with new UK, European and Japanese dates for spring 2027, joining existing US arena shows running through September and October with support from Silversun Pickups and The Shins; Taking Back Sunday will support the UK and European leg, which includes stops in Dublin, Manchester, London, Glasgow and other major cities.
In short
- Weezer release new single ‘C.E.O.’ ahead of album ‘Weezer’ (Gold Album)
- Video features Tony Hawk, Rob Riggle and other celebrity cameos
- New UK, European and Japan tour dates added for spring 2027
Explained simply
Weezer are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1992, known for mixing guitar-driven alternative rock with playful, often self-aware songs. Their 1994 debut album, commonly called the Blue Album, included “Undone (The Sweater Song)”, whose spoken interruptions and party-like video became part of the band’s early image.
The band’s new record is also known as The Gold Album, continuing their long-running practice of naming albums after colours. Its release and the tour span several regions, giving listeners in the UK, Europe and Japan a chance to hear the new material alongside a catalogue built over more than three decades.
