Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has given Australian fans the news they have long been waiting for. reveling the band will be touring down under in January 2017.

“Yes … you will see us in January,” he said n a recent interview with the Herald Sun.

Currently touring the US off the back of their latest release The White Album (the fourth in their series of colour albums), the band have been popping up all over the place, recently collaborating with the likes of Vic Mensa and The Monkees.

With the tour set to embark on a traipse around the world following their North American dates, that they would come to Australia was never a certainty. The comments in the interview then were music to ears of fans.

Three years since their last visit to our shores, the band are sure to draw crowds when they come. However while you might expect them to play their own headline shows, the January timing suggests they might be joining the bill of one of the end of year festivals like Falls Festival or Southbound.

Still only time will tell, stay tuned for any more news or an official announcement.

In the meantime why don’t we relive their glory days via the video for Undone here below.
