Weezer Drop CEO Single and Announce North American Arena Tour

Weezer are back with "C.E.O.," a new single that works as both a self-aware commentary on rock nostalgia and a deliberate musical callback to "Undone (The Sweater Song)," the 1994 track that put them on the map. The song is structured as a kind of redux of that original hit, and the video leans all the way into the bit with cameos, sketch comedians, and a direct visual homage to the Spike Jonze directed original clip.

The video stars Rob Riggle and Rob Huebel as executives pressuring the band to relive their prime years, which is exactly the kind of meta-self-awareness Weezer does better than almost anyone in rock. The bigger casting note is Curry Barker, the filmmaker behind the recent horror breakout Obsession, playing the video's in-universe director. A few more famous faces pop up throughout, though we'll let you discover those yourself.

What You Need to Know About Weezer's Gold Album and Tour

"C.E.O." is the third single from Weezer's upcoming self-titled LP, dubbed the Gold Album, due August 21 on Reprise/Warner. The record was produced by Klas Åhlund and Kenneth Blume, the artist formerly known as Kenny Beats, a pairing that already has people paying attention. Previous singles "Shine Again" and the Wednesday collab "We Might As Well Be Strangers" showed range. This one shows craft and a willingness to look inward.

On the live side, the tour they already announced with the Shins and Silversun Pickups is now just one piece of a much bigger picture. The North American arena run hits Los Angeles at Crypto.com Arena on October 24, and that's the local date to mark. After that, Weezer head to Japan in February and then the UK and Europe in May and June with Taking Back Sunday.

The full North American run covers Sacramento, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington DC, Nashville, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas, and more, wrapping on the West Coast before the international legs begin.

For a band that has been in the game since the early 90s, a proper arena tour with this kind of scope still means something. It signals that the Gold Album is being treated as a real creative reset, not a nostalgia cash-in, even while the creative choices here openly wrestle with that exact tension. That self-awareness is what keeps Weezer interesting.
