Weezer will perform June 10 at Alliant Energy, 200 First St. S.E. Cedar Rapids, as a part of the "Rock the Rapids with Weezer" show.
The show is set to begin at 6 p.m. Weezer will take the stage at 8:15 p.m., performing tracks from The Blue Album along with others from Pinkerton.
The American rock group has played coast to coast at music festivals and events since its formation in 1992. The band released its début self-titled album in 1994, and the popular singles "The Sweater Song" and "Buddy Holly" launched the band into the mainstream music scene of the ’90s. Weezer has released nine studio albums, 25 singles, and 23 music videos in its 20 years of performing.
Tickets for the show are available for sale online at Weezer.com for $26-$50. The band will be back in Iowa on July 29 to play Harrah’s Casino and Hotel in Council Bluffs.
