Weezer - African Cover Live Performance at Globe Life Field, Arlington
Venue: Globe Life Field
Location: Arlington, Texas, United States
Date: July 24, 2021
In July 2021, during the Hella Mega Tour at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Weezer performed a live cover of Toto's "Africa," a song that has become a fan favorite in their repertoire. Prior to this recording, Weezer had released "OK Human" in January 2021, an album that showcased a more orchestral and introspective side of the band, diverging from their usual power pop style. This contrast highlights Weezer's versatility as they seamlessly blend genres. Interesting tidbits include the enthusiasm surrounding the Hella Mega Tour, which also featured Green Day and Fall Out Boy, indicating Weezer's lasting relevance in the music scene as they continue to captivate fans across generations, both live and on record.
