Voyage to the Blue Planet is Weezer's headlining 2024 North American tour, slated to occur between September 4 and October 12. The Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr. are set to play as opening acts. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Weezer (The Blue Album), the album will be played in full at each show.
Overview
Social media posts teasing a "voyage" were first shared on February 14, 2024.[1] The tour was formally announced on March 11, accompanied by a space-themed trailer video and website redesign. A new Weezer Fan Club membership bundle and a one-off anniversary performance at Club Dump were also announced. Weezer (The Blue Album) was set to be performed at each show in full to celebrate the album's 30th anniversary, alongside "[other] Weezer songs, rarities, and more." The Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr., who have both performed with Weezer previously, were announced as the tour's opening bands.[2][3]
On March 14, only one day after pre-sale tickets became available to fan club members and other select groups, the September 14 show in Washington, DC sold out. In response, an additional show at the same venue on the following day was added to the tour schedule.[4] Another additional show in Palm Desert, California on October 12 was added in June.[5]
In August, roughly two weeks before the beginning of the tour, an unknown quantity of promotional packages were sent to random fans. These contained a musical gag card, a sticker, and an unmarked white cassette. The card was produced by Joker Greeting and plays "Buddy Holly" continuously when opened. It additionally ejects confetti when an enclosed string is pulled. The sticker features an illustration of the Blue Album artwork and the text "You Just Got Weezered". The cassette, housed in a blank blue J-card, contains narration by Rivers Cuomo previewing the upcoming tour, followed by the entirety of Weezer's third demo (not including "Surf Wax America").
