Weezer

In October 2020, during their performance at the Innings Festival in Phoenix, Weezer delighted fans by covering Toto’s 'Africa,' showcasing their playful and nostalgic side. This live recording came shortly after the release of their album 'Van Weezer,' which, while officially launched in May 2021, had already been teased with single releases. Rich with rock riffs and catchy melodies, 'Van Weezer' embraces a more classic rock sound, influenced by the band's roots and the music of their youth. The timing of this performance reflected a unique moment for Weezer as they navigated the challenges of the pandemic while keeping the spirit of live music alive. Fans were buzzing not only about the cover but also about how the iconic 'Africa' fits perfectly into Weezer's ethos of reimagining beloved music for new audiences.
