Weezer to Headline Apple's WWDC 2019 Bash Tonight

[MacRumors]

Apple has announced that multi-platinum rock band Weezer will be headlining its annual WWDC Bash on Thursday evening.

The night of music, food, and drinks will take place at Discovery Meadow in San Jose tonight between 7-10 p.m. local time. The park is located just down the street from the McEnery Convention Center where WWDC 2019 is taking place. The event is free, but a WWDC 2019 badge must be presented for entry.

Attendees 21 years and older may drink alcohol and can pick up a wristband for drinks on the plaza outside McEnery between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., or at the bash tonight, by showing a valid government-issued photo ID. There is no bag check at the bash, so attendees are advised to leave their bags at their hotel.

WWDC officially ends on Friday evening, but the end-of-WWDC bash is hosted on Thursday evening since many people fly home on Friday morning. Last year, the event was headlined by rock band Panic! At The Disco.

Obligatory for Weezer fans:

 

[drinkingtea]

Who listens to this group...? I’ve never heard one song by them.

 

[Cosmosent]

Hope they Kick It Off with Pork 'n Beans !

 

[Paradoxally]

Who listens to this group...? I’ve never heard one song by them.

You've never heard Buddy Holly? Wow.

 

[jthomp]

Who STILL listens to this group...?

There, fixed it!

They’ve been around since the mid 90’s and had a fairly successful career.

some other people have though.

I guess they were a thing before my time.

 

[yaxomoxay]

You've never heard Buddy Holly? Wow.

The video was in the original Windows 95 CD release

 

[Westside guy]

Who listens to this group...? I’ve never heard one song by them.

They've been around forever. I remember there was even a video of their song "Buddy Holly" included with Windows... 95 (?) where the band was playing at the malt shop from the TV show "Happy Days".

 

[Mike MA]

Didn’t know they were still around.

 

[AppleZilla]

The worst era for music won't die. That being said, Weezer are about the best to come out of that mediocre era.

 

[infinitejest]

Who listens to this group...? I’ve never heard one song by them.

So?
Not their fault when you’re knowledge in music is limited.

 

[Superhai]

Surely it should be called WWDC zsh now. :drumroll

Them fightin' words.

 

[dannyyankou]

They’re a very popular rock band. Just because you never heard of them doesn’t mean others don’t listen to them.

 

[DCstewieG]

You've never heard Buddy Holly? Wow.

Today it would be more surprising if someone hasn’t heard their Africa cover.

That said, the Blue Album is one of the best 90s alternative albums, start to finish.

 

[handsome pete]

That said, the Blue Album is one of the best 90s alternative albums, start to finish.

Just chiming in to completely agree with that.

 

[Darth Tulhu]

I remember hearing a Metallica fan say this in one of their early Docs:

"Every generation will scorn the next, and their music".

I disagree, though.

Personally, I'm a rock fan, and while supposedly "rock is dead" today, I don't care.

Most of the bands I like are still making music (RIP Chris Cornell), and new fans of said music are doing so too, so I'm good.

I get to skip American Idol, the Grammys, the Voice, and the rest of the maintream music industry.

Thankfully, we live in an era where this is completely doable, since finding music I like is easier than ever before, even if it's NOT mainstream.

Rather, ANYONE can find the music they love.

Freedom, Baby.

Yeah.

PD. New Tool album in August. HELL. YESSS.

What!? I know i'm old but wow I love that era of music.

 

[Attirex]

Hootie or death!

 

[SoN1NjA]

Anyone attending WWDC here on the forums?

 

[The Clark]

They couldn't have found someone with a little more relevance? Sorry but I don't want to watch grandpas in a rock band, even if they did produce some gems. Cage the Elephant would have been better.

i vote for pinkerton)

 

[derekamoss]

Man I used to be a total Weezer fanatic. I loved everything up until the 6th album. Pinkerton is an all time favorite. That and only in dreams from the blue album(their first) I even went on a Weezer cruise where they played five nights and even hung out and played games and stuff with the fans.
