Weezer recently graced The Tonight Show with a memorable performance of "We Might as Well Be Strangers." This track is featured on their latest release, the self-titled "The Gold Album," which marked the band's 16th studio effort.
Lead singer Rivers Cuomo embraced the theme, appearing in a vibrant, all-gold costume that included trousers, a jacket, and a top hat, complemented by striking makeup. He later shared insights into the album's creation with host Jimmy Fallon, emphasizing its human and vulnerable nature.
The "Gold Album," released on August 21, 2026, continues Weezer's tradition of color-coded self-titled albums. This release follows their debut "Weezer (Blue Album)" from 1994.
Supporting the new record, Weezer is set to embark on the "Weezer: The Gathering" tour. Kicking off in September, the tour will traverse North America, with Cuomo describing it as a way to "summon" fans together.
