Last week, Weezer announced their 30th anniversary ‘Blue Album’ tour – and to celebrate, they played a special anniversary show on March 15 at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles, with Keanu Reeves’ band Dogstar as opening acts.
The 500-capacity show was intended to mirror Weezer’s first ever show at Raji’s in 1992 where Weezer themselves opened for Dogstar.
Now, footage has been captured of musician and Euphoria star Dominic Fike playing ‘Say It Ain’t So’ with the band. Weezer have previously teamed up with the Floridian as a guest feature on his second album ‘Sunburn‘.

NME spoke to Rivers Cuomo last year on building his new Discord community for his fans, saying that his fans may predate the platform, but see to have shared the same musical values over time: “Our musical tastes are very consistent even from the ’90s, really,” Cuomo said.
“We all still like super emotional songs with great melodies that are catchy and yet somewhat progressive and challenging and complex musically. We like big guitars and weird lyrics. It’s still true.”
In other Weezer news, the band have made a cameo in Netflix’s new Christmas show, Family Switch, where they play a garage rock band called Dad or Alive.
