Modest Mouse and Momma, Future Islands and Joyce Manor, Spoon and White Reaper, and others will perform on a summer tour called the “Indie Rock Roadtrip,” which the band Weezer announced on Monday.
The tour will likely have another special guest. After a fan practiced Weezer’s song “Buddy Holly” riff for almost three years, he received a special invite from Rivers Cuomo to play the track live on the tour.

The fan, Evan Marsalli, began by inviting Cosmo to duet a “Buddy Holly” riff on TikTok. He dedicated 990 tries to get the singer’s attention. His work has paid off.
