Published: Jan 16, 2017

DAWSON CREEK –  With the success of the 2016 Summer Tour, alternative pop rock band Weezer adds more dates to their 2017 schedule with a Canadian tour.   The tour makes a stop in Dawson Creek at the Encana Events Centre  on Thursday, April 6 and will mark the return of the Mile Zero Meltdown presented by 97.7 Rock.

 

Tickets will be available for purchase on Friday, January 20 at 10 a.m. MST.  Tickets are priced at $79.00 and $59.00 plus applicable fees.  Tickets may be purchased online at www.tigerboxofficeplus.ca by phone at 1-877-339-8499, and in person at the Tiger Box Office Plus locations at the Encana Events Centre.

Weezer’s eponymous-titled 10th studio album, was released April 1, 2016 and is referred to as “The White Album”.  Recent singles from this album include "King of the World," "Do You Wanna Get High?" and "Thank God for Girls." 

"The inspiration behind the songs were my experiences hanging around the Westside of Los Angeles, which has been our home since Weezer began. Hanging out with people in Venice and Santa Monica, the beach, the Hare Krishnas, the Sikh on roller blades with the guitar, girls on Tinder within a 4 mile radius, seeing other bands, the kids from La Sera. I would just tweet out 'does anybody wanna hang?'," Cuomo told Rolling Stone. "And then I'd get together with people who responded and talk about life. I love California. I wanted the album to make you feel like you were there with us SoCal weirdos even if you're in Milwaukee in December.

Joining the tour will be The Trews and The Flatliners.
