Weezer Launches Intergalactic Voyage to the Blue Planet Tour in Saint Paul

30th Anniversary Celebration of Blue Album

Weezer kicked off their Voyage to the Blue Planet tour on Thursday in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with a highly energetic and visually stunning performance. The tour celebrates the 30th anniversary of the band’s self-titled album, commonly referred to as the Blue Album. While the album was performed in its entirety, it was just one part of a broader show that featured a wide range of material from throughout Weezer’s career.

Stellar Stage Presence

The show began with a sci-fi-themed setup, where a large spacecraft landed on stage, and the band members, dressed in astronaut suits, emerged to deliver a rousing performance. The setlist was cleverly divided into three sections, each with its own unique theme and setlist. The first part, Blue Voyage Takeoff, featured a collection of Weezer’s hit singles, including "Hash Pipe," "Beverly Hills," and "Island in the Sun."

Pinkerton Asteroid Belt and Blue Planet

The show’s plot took a more dramatic turn as Weezer traveled to the Pinkerton Asteroid Belt, where they performed a selection of songs from their cult-classic second album. The highlight of the second part of the show came when Weezer arrived on the Blue Planet, only to discover it was dying. In a heroic move, the band came together to play their debut album in its entirety, bringing new life to the planet.

Classic Weezer Tracks

The crowd was treated to iconic tracks such as "My Name Is Jonas," "Undone – The Sweater Song," and "Buddy Holly," all of which received a euphoric response from the audience. The setlist was a masterclass in pacing and variety, seamlessly blending Weezer’s most beloved hits with lesser-known gems.
