WeezerWhile Weezer are set to release their eighth studio album, and first indepent release,Hurley, on September 14th through Epitaph Records; rumors are flying about the band going back in time later this year and doing an all-Pinkerton tour, playing the cult classic start-to-finish. The massively influential album is set for a deluxe-edition reissue on Oct. 5 via the band’s former label, Geffen, according to Amazon. Guitarist Brian Bell gave an interview backstage at last weekend’s Mile High Music Festival in Colorado where he all but confirmed the trek:

“We… have a reissue of Pinkerton coming out with new packaging, and—I’m praying—a Pinkertontour, where we’ll play all the songs off Pinkerton, soon,”

Bell also remarked that the band have an odds-and-ends release titled Death To False Metal in the works, although no release date for that has officially been set.
