Weezer

In 2002, when Weezer performed at the Reading Festival, they were riding high on the success of their album, 'Maladroit,' which was released earlier that year. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing a more experimental sound while still holding onto their signature catchiness. Interestingly, Weezer had recently returned to music after a bit of a hiatus, which makes this live performance at Temple Newsam even more electrifying. The setlist included fan favorites like 'Say It Ain't So' and 'Island in the Sun,' capturing the energy and excitement of their reunion. This concert also reminded fans why Weezer was an essential part of the early 2000s alt-rock scene. Plus, what a place to bring that energy—the historic Leeds venue added its own charm to the performance!
