Weezer
Weezer performs Buddy Holly live at Oxegen Festival in Ballincheek, Ireland
In July 2011, Weezer performed 'Buddy Holly' at the Oxegen festival, a legendary gig held at Knebworth House in the UK. By this time, they had released their album 'Hurley' in September 2010, marking a return to their classic sound after a couple of experimental albums. Interestingly, 'Buddy Holly,' originally from the self-titled 'Blue Album,' showcases the band's knack for blending rock with catchy hooks—something fans adored from the start. This live performance came amidst a vibrant festival scene, and their infectious energy during 'Buddy Holly' resonated well with the crowd. Fun fact: Weezer’s frontman, Rivers Cuomo, often reflects on the unique connection between their old hits and their evolving style, making moments like this a delightful nostalgia trip for both old and new fans alike.
