California-based rock band Weezer is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band's self-titled debut album, also known as the "Blue Album," with a North American tour set to kick off in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sept. 4.

The band will play "Weezer" in full along with other fan favorites and deep cuts. Weezer will be joined by opening acts The Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr.

A 1990s classic, "Weezer" produced hits such as "Buddy Holly” and "Say It Ain’t So" which, aside from becoming anthems of that decade, have earned hundreds of millions of streams and endless placements in TV shows and movies.
