Weezer is rolling its arena package The Gathering into Tampa this fall, locking in a headline date for Oct. 14, 2026 at Benchmark International Arena. The Shins and Silversun Pickups are along for the ride, with the three-band run also scheduled for Orlando on Oct. 11 and Sunrise on Oct. 13.
According to Creative Loafing Tampa, the "Weezer: The Gathering" tour is set to hit Tampa on Oct. 14, 2026. The Silversun Pickups tour page also lists that same date at Benchmark International Arena as part of a shared bill with Weezer and The Shins.
Tickets and presales
The Ticketmaster event listing lays out the game plan for getting in the door. Citi and Verizon presales, plus a Weezer fan‑club presale, all kick off Tuesday, March 31 at 10 a.m. ET. If you miss those early windows, the general on‑sale follows on Friday, April 3 at 10 a.m. ET.
Weezer confirms the fan‑club presale on the band’s official tour page and directs fans there for any further updates as the dates get closer.
At Benchmark International Arena
Benchmark International Arena, downtown Tampa’s primary indoor concert stop, will host the show. The building took on the Benchmark International name in August 2025 after previously operating as Amalie Arena, according to AP News.
The venue’s official site, Benchmark International Arena, highlights its Channelside location and arena‑level seating capacities, which help explain why it frequently lands major rock tours like this one.
Support acts and set expectations
AllMusic credits The Shins’ 2001 album Oh, Inverted World and its single “New Slang” with giving the band its breakout moment, the kind of indie‑rock calling card that still pulls fans in decades later. The Silversun Pickups site confirms that the band will join Weezer and The Shins on the Tampa date as part of the same bill.
Creative Loafing Tampa also notes that Weezer is rumored to have an untitled album in the works and an expected single around April 1. Those potential releases have not been confirmed by the band or its label, so for now Tampa fans can count on the tour date while keeping an eye out for any official word on new music.
