Alt-rock veterans Weezer were one of the many names we’d eagerly speculated over regarding a potential spot on the Splendour In The Grass lineup. Of course, as we now all know, they didn’t end up making the cut.

It’s been about three years since Aussie fans last got to see the band and the River Cuomo-led outfit are currently touring off the back of their latest full-length effort, The White Album.

So is that tour going to make its way over Down Under? “Yes… you will see us in January,” Cuomo recently revealed in an interview with the Herald Sun when asked when we’d next hear ‘The Sweater Song’ live.

Considering the fact that Cuomo specifically said January, whilst no official headline dates have been announced, it sounds to us like we could officially have our first Falls Festival rumour in the bag.

Of course, Australia has its fair share of music festivals happening around January, but Falls and Weezer do seem like the perfect fit and the Los Angeles group have not previously made a Falls appearance.
