2010/04/15 Halifax! Minneapolis, Montreal!

...MORE summer shows keep coming in, and yes there are still more to come! Today we are very pleased to announce Weezer playing at the Halifax Rocks Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia! Weezer has NEVER been to any of the Maritime Provinces before, so this is major stuff indeed. In fact Halifax is the hometown of Sloan, whose A+R guy Todd Sullivan signed Weezer to Geffen Records back in '93. Weezer opened for Sloan at L.A.'s Jabberjaw that spring, and before the show they showed us their tourbus. When weezer saw that bus...
