Weezer Booked!

The California Mid-State Fair is pleased to announce alternative rock band Weezer has been booked for Thursday, July 29, 2010. Tickets for the show will be $30, $35, $45 and $60 and will go on sale Friday, June 18th at 10:00a.

Since 1992 the multi-talented group has been entertaining fans across the world, selling more than 8 million albums and performing for countless thousands. Their latest album, Raditude, was released in the fall of last year and has produced the smash “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To”.

Raditude caps off a remarkable decade that saw Weezer reassert its position as one of the biggest, best rock bands in the world while also seeing their influence echo through a generation who absorbed the sound and feel of the group’s two classic ‘90s albums: their self-titled 1994 debut, dubbed The Blue Album featuring such era-defining hits as “Undone—The Sweater Song” and “Buddy Holly” and their cult classic 1996 sophomore set Pinkerton. Weezer refused to ride on those past glories when they returned in 2001 with The Green Album, sounding vigorous on the hits “Hash Pipe” and “Island in the Sun.” The hard, heavy Maladroit, featuring “Dope Nose” and “Keep Fishin’,” followed in 2002. Three years later, Weezer released Make Believe in 2005, an album highlighted by “Beverly Hills,” their first single to climb into the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100. The Red Album arrived in 2008 along with the single “Pork and Beans” whose YouTube-satirizing video won Weezer their first Grammy.

Tickets can be purchased at the CMSF box office, www.midstatefair.com, 1-800-909-FAIR or any ValliTix outlet.

The 2010 California Mid-State Fair runs July 21, 2010, through August 1, 2010. This year’s theme is “Endless Summer Fun.”
