Weezer

Before performing at the Fuji Rock Festival in 2023, Weezer had just released their album "SZNS: Spring" earlier that year. This album marked Weezer's ambition to return to their roots while exploring diverse musical influences. By the time they took the stage in Japan, the band was riding high on a wave of nostalgia, given their legacy in the alternative rock scene. Known for hits like "Buddy Holly" and "Say It Ain't So," Weezer's live shows are always a mix of their classic sound and new material. An interesting tidbit is their distinct ability to blend energy with heartfelt lyrics, which truly resonates during live performances. Their set at Fuji encapsulated this, bringing together fan favorites like "My Name Is Jonas" and "Island In The Sun." It's a reminder of how they’ve evolved while staying true to their iconic style, striking a balance between old and new.
