In a Weezer news triple-whammy, the band have announced a UK tour, unleashed a new single and dropped a strong hint they’ll be performing a secret slot at Reading Festival.
The first taster of Weezer’s eleventh studio album, which is due for release later this year, Rivers Cuomo and co. unveiled the sun-kissed single ‘Feels Like Summer’ last night telling fans “We decided to skip spring entirely and go straight to summer.”
