Weezer rolls into Austin on Sunday, October 18, bringing The Gathering Tour to Moody Center with The Shins and Silversun Pickups in tow. The Austin stop comes near the tail end of a 32-city arena run that has already crossed the country, and it lands one day after the band plays Dallas.
Moody Center confirms the band is “coming back to Moody Center on Sunday, October 18, 2026 for The Gathering Tour,” according to moodycenteratx.com. Tickets are on sale now, the venue says, though it cautions that event times are subject to change. The show carries no age restrictions, and ticket details are being handled through Ticketmaster.
The Austin date isn't a standalone stop. As CultureMap Austin notes, Weezer is scheduled to play Houston on October 16 and Dallas on October 17 before rolling into the capital city the following day, making it the latest leg of a Texas swing. The Shins and Silversun Pickups are joining as special guests at every stop on the tour, not just in Austin, giving the night a three-act lineup for fans who show up early.
A Coast-to-Coast Arena Run
The Gathering Tour is a 32-city, all-arena trek that kicked off September 8 in Sacramento and is set to wrap October 24 in Weezer's hometown of Los Angeles, per the same CultureMap report. That puts the Austin show roughly six weeks into a run that has already crisscrossed much of the country. The tour follows Weezer's sold-out Return to the Blue Planet tour and the band's earlier Hella Mega stadium outing alongside Green Day and Fall Out Boy, according to iHeart.
iHeart reported that Weezer has a forthcoming, still-untitled album, while Consequence describes the setlist as a mix of rarities and tracks pulled from the band's recent self-titled release, Weezer (A.K.A. The Gold Album), according to the outlet's coverage of the tour's kickoff. Adding to the picture, iHeart reported in the spring that Weezer planned to release a new song called “Shine Again” from that still-untitled upcoming record.
Looking Past Austin and Into 2027
Weezer isn't stopping at the Los Angeles finale. The band has already expanded The Gathering Tour into a worldwide run for 2027, according to KLBJ-FM, which also reports that the band's new record was produced by Klas Åhlund and Kenneth Blume. For now, though, the focus is Sunday's stop at Moody Center, where fans will get a preview of whatever comes next for the band sandwiched between old favorites and new material.
As with any touring arena show, attendees should verify set times and schedule details directly with the venue or tour organizers before heading out, since Moody Center itself notes that times are subject to change.
