Weezer

In July 2011, when Weezer performed 'Pork and Beans' at Oxegen, they had just released their album 'Hurley' a few months earlier, in September 2010. This album marked a pivotal point in their career, showcasing a return to their roots with a more straightforward, rock-driven sound following the commercial struggles of their previous work. It's fascinating to see how 'Pork and Beans', a hit from their 2008 self-titled album (often called 'The Red Album'), resonated with fans, illustrating how the band's quirky charm and catchy hooks remained relevant. Notably, the performance featured Rivers Cuomo's signature charismatic stage presence, reminding fans why Weezer has held such a unique place in the alt-rock scene. The venue at Balado, set amidst the vibrant festival atmosphere, only added to the live energy of this unforgettable performance.
