It has been sixteen long years since Weezer’s one and only tour of Australia. After incessant rumours of potential tours, the resultant fervour that has taken over the nation’s music fans remains unrivalled. Chugg Entertainment is excited to be bringing the band to our shores, with the opportunity to vindicate the enthusiasm and persistence of their fans all over the country. Greater still, their tour brings with it a follow thru from their recently announced US concept shows; performing a collection of greatest hits and rarities in addition to The Blue Album, from start to finish.
This visit will be both a celebration for older fans, reveling in nostalgia from Weezer’s storied Pinkerton tour of 1996, and an introduction to a younger generation working their way back from more recent albums. Such is the anticipation of this announcement that these shows are more than just a tour; they represent a culmination of years of collective longing.

Rockhampton duo Thomas Busby & Jeremy Marou have had a whirlwind of a year.
