A US rock band is to play its only UK headline show next summer at an iconic West Yorkshire venue.

The Grammy award-winning Weezer will play the Piece Hall on Monday, June 30 when they will be supported on the night by punk group Bad Nerves and garage punk band Teen Mortgage.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1992, the band currently consists of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, lead guitar), Patrick Wilson (drums), Brian Bell (rhythm guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), and Scott Shriner (bass, backing vocals).

Weezer have sold 10 million albums in the US, more than 35 million records worldwide, and their music has been streamed billions of times.

Their catalogue includes such megahits as Buddy Holly, Undone (The Sweater Song), Say It Ain’t So, El Scorcho, Hash Pipe, Island In The Sun, Beverly Hills, and Pork and Beans.

Nicky Chance Tompson MBE DL, CEO of The Piece Hall charitable trust, said: "Responsible for some of the catchiest guitar tracks of the 90s, I cannot wait to welcome Weezer to The Piece Hall.

“The fact this is their only UK headline show of the summer makes it even more special."

Tickets go on sale at 11am on Friday via thepiecehall.co.uk and ticketmaster.co.uk
