Weezer

When Weezer took the stage at Rock in Rio on September 28, 2019, they were riding high on the success of their self-titled album, often referred to as 'The Black Album,' which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing a fresh, pop-oriented sound that diverged from their earlier rock roots. The live performance of 'Lithium,' a cover of the Nirvana classic, resonated with the audience, reflecting Weezer's knack for blending nostalgic influences with their unique style. It's worth noting that during this period, Weezer was also experiencing a resurgence, thanks in part to a viral moment with their cover of 'Africa' by Toto, which breathed new life into their career. This performance at Rock in Rio wasn't just a concert; it was a celebration of their adaptability and an homage to rock's legacy.
