The sweater-clad fathers of modern indie are coming to Richmond as part of XL102’s Big Field Day event this year.
Perhaps it was “Buddy Holly” when you first fell in love with Weezer, or maybe “Pink Triangle?” Maybe “Hash Pipe” if you’re a bit younger, but either way, Rivers Cuomo and friends are headed to RVA Saturday, May 13.
Check out more details via an RIR Press release:
BFD is a regional music festival that brings the best in alternative rock to Richmond. In addition to Weezer, BFD performers this year include PVRIS, Bob Moses, Dreamers and making their Richmond debut, Skratch ‘N Sniff.
