Weezer will take a “Voyage To The Blue Planet” September 4 – October 11 for North American tour dates celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band’s instant-classic, self-titled debut album. The Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr., who each recently commemorated the anniversaries of special records of their own, will kick off all shows.
Weezer — currently comprised of vocalist/guitarist Rivers Cuomo, bassist Scott Shriner, drummer Patrick Wilson and rhythm guitarist/keyboardist Brian Bell — was formed in 1992. The Los Angeles-based outfit put out their self-titled debut, known as the Blue Album, in May of 1994. Weezer’s Ric Ocasek-produced LP included a trio of hits that remain among the band’s most beloved songs — “Say It Ain’t So,” “Buddy Holly” and “Undone — The Sweater Song.”

The Flaming Lips’ time on the road with Weezer and Dinosaur Jr. follows the latest leg of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots 20th anniversary tour dates. Dinosaur Jr. recently completed a series of concerts honoring the 30th anniversary of their 1993 LP, Where You Been.
Weezer will perform the Blue Album in its entirety at each stop. Rivers Cuomo and his bandmates also promise “other fan favorites, rarities and more.”
The “Voyage To The Blue Planet” tour starts on September 4 at Xcel Emergy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.
