Notes: The Baltimore show turned into the Fairfax VA show. No word on Fresno at this point. No word on Columbus, OH at this point. Awaiting ticket onsale info for Worcester, MA. No mention of any Canadian dates at this time. Watch 10/11 or 10/12 for a possible mid-Atlantic date. Opening acts: 1st leg (9/8 - 9/15): TBA. 2nd leg (9/27- 10/10): The Kaiser Chiefs. 3rd Leg (10/13 - 10/28): Hot Hot Heat.
"Who plays first and for how long?" On all dates, the running order will be: 1. opening act, 2. Weezer, 3. Foo Fighters. Weezer and The Foo Fighters will be playing identical set lengths (though I'm not sure as to the actual length.) As this is a co-headlining tour, neither act is considered to be 'opening' for the other. It was decided mutually that weezer will 'go first', but both bands will be bringing their 'headliner game' to the mix. The opening act (whoever is playing before weezer) will probably play 30 to 45 minutes.
More tour information will be announced shortly. Presale info, when its known, will go out on the weezer mailing list.
