Weezer ~ Main Stage
Rivers runs riot
The stage couldn’t contain Rivers Cuomo as Weezer’s front man ran amok during his band’s early evening set on the Main Stage. Opting for a greatest hits set despite forthcoming album ‘Hurley’, the stalwart American rockers continued the good feeling left by previous act Cypress Hill, hits like ‘Hash Pipe,’ ‘Say It Ain’t So’ and ‘My Name Is Jonas’ bringing the crowd to rapture.
Throughout this Cuomo was everywhere, clambering over the side of the stage, running along the front barrier to dance with audience members and security alike and jumping up and down on his on a trampoline set up especially on stage. He also donned a blonde wig during a cover medley of MGMT’s ‘Kids’ and Lady GaGa’s ‘Pokerface’ before escaping the clutches of security and running out to the far end of the arena field during final song ‘Buddy Holly’ where he was soon joined by delighted fans.
