This past June, Weezer announced that they would be performing a Broadway residency in September at The Broadway Theatre.

The first four nights were divided among the band’s four-part EP project, SZNZ, which was intended to coincide with the residency. The first two SZNZ EPs—Spring and Summer—have already been made available.

However, since then, the residency has been canceled, according to a message posted by the band’s leader, Rivers Cuomo. The reason for the cancellation was due to low ticket sales and unbelievably high expenses.

“I just learned that our Broadway shows have been cancelled (due to low ticket sales and unbelievably high expenses.) I’m very sorry to be telling you this now after we’ve already invested so much time, thought, and emotion. Extra apologies to those of you who cleared schedules and made travel plans to be with us. Thanks to @Broadway Producer for all your hard work and great ideas. I loved where we were going and I hope we can find a way to resurrect our vision”.

Maybe we’ll get a tour instead… fingers crossed.
