2019
From Weezerpedia
2019 was an exciting and busy year for Weezer, not only having released their twelfth studio album, The Teal Album, and their thirteenth studio album, The Black Album, but has also seen them selling out the iconic Madison Square Garden in March, and a triumphant return to the main stage at Coachella (the first time in 14 years!) in April.
Summer brought the band back to Europe for some festivals, including re-visiting several countries for the first time in a long time: first time back in Italy and Switzerland since 1996, and in Portugal since 2002!
