Weezer Announces Dates for 2026-2027 International “The Gathering” Tour and Releases Star-Studded “C.E.O.” Video
The band also unveiled a comedic promotional clip featuring comedians Rob Riggle and Rob Huebel, alongside a cast of guest performers including Tony Hawk, Michael Peña and others.
Weezer announced dates for its 2026-2027 international “The Gathering” tour on Aug. 5, 2026, and paired the schedule reveal with the release of a comedy-themed music video for “C.E.O.” The announcement, published by Billboard, places the band’s next touring period across both 2026 and 2027, with additional show details presented as part of the rollout.
Alongside the tour news, Weezer released the star-studded “C.E.O.” video, a jokey clip built around the idea of bumbling workplace authority. Billboard described the central cast of characters as featuring comedians Rob Riggle and Rob Huebel as mismanaged company bosses, forming the basis for the video’s workplace parody tone.
Billboard also reported that the video’s guest performers include several well-known entertainers and athletes. The publication said that Tony Hawk, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Jay Renshaw appear in the “C.E.O.” video, expanding beyond the band’s usual promotional footprint with appearances from outside music.
The tour announcement and video release land in the middle of a broader era in which major rock acts often use short-form video and high-recognition guest casting to broaden audience reach and sustain momentum between releases. In this case, Weezer is tying a multi-year international touring plan to a highly recognizable comedy concept.
No ticketing details, venue-by-venue dates, or production specifics were included in the information provided for this announcement. The next step for fans will be to consult the tour listing as published with the dates, and to review any public ticketing and venue policies once individual dates and sale windows are confirmed.
For music audiences, touring schedules are typically the primary driver of concert-going timelines, including planning for travel, family commitments and work schedules. For venues and local service providers, the band’s multi-country run also affects staffing and event operations, with advance scheduling depending on how quickly ticketing and logistics are finalized after an initial announcement.
With “The Gathering” spanning 2026 and 2027 and “C.E.O.” functioning as the accompanying promotional centerpiece, Weezer’s outreach appears designed to keep attention on the band well ahead of the first shows while also making the campaign visually distinctive through the guest-heavy video format.
