Weezer

Weezer, the American rock band from Los Angeles, play Utilita Arena Birmingham with Taking Back Sunday, the New York post-hardcore and emo group. The evening is a rock concert in the Birmingham arena.

Weezer are an American rock, emo and alternative rock band from Los Angeles, formed in 1992 around Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson and Brian Bell. The band is signed to Universal Music Group and released its first album in 1995. Their music combines power-pop melody with guitar-driven rock, and they have built a long catalogue since then.

Taking Back Sunday is an American band formed in New York in 1999, playing post-hardcore, emo and alternative rock. The group is signed to Warner Bros. Records, and its first album, Tell All Your Friends, came out in 2002. Their sound sits within the same emo and alternative rock tradition as the headline act, making the pairing a natural one for fans of both.

The concert takes place at Utilita Arena Birmingham, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city. The night suits listeners who follow American alternative rock and emo, and those who want to hear two bands from the same wider scene on one bill.
