Ahead of the band’s epic seaside performance we’re looking back at the Rivers Cuomo-fronted band and playing the top five best covers that Weezer has ever recorded. And, obviously “No Scrubs” and “Africa” are at the top of our list.

Check out the full list below.

1 "Africa" - ft. Weird Al Yankovic

"Africa" is originally by Toto and debuted in 1982.

2 "Take On Me"

A classic 80s track, "Take On Me" is by the one and only, A-ha.

3 "No Scrubs"

We love the Weezer cover of "No Scrubs" but honestly, nobody does it like T-Boz, Left Eye and, Chilli.

4 "Enter Sandman"

Metallica released "Enter Sandman" initially in 1991. This cover was a part of Metallica's massive covers album in celebration of 30 years of the Black Album in 2021.

5 "Paranoid Android"

Who do you love more on "Paranoid Android," the track's originator, Radiohead's Thom Yorke, or Weezer frontman, Rivers Cuomo?
