Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo also celebrated Fall Out Boy’s return to the stage. “Fall Out Boy’s back! Very excited,” Cuomo announced during his band’s set. Noting that Weezer had played “Sugar, We’re Going Down” in their tourmates’ stead, he said, “I’m not gonna do that tonight. It would be weird. Plus, they sing it really awesome.”
Wentz also had an answer for anyone who questions rock ‘n’ roll’s current drawing power. “We decided to challenge that theory and put together the biggest f—ing rock tour this summer,” he said of the Hella Mega outing.
Looking over a crowd of more than 30,000, he noted that “it’s pretty f—ing evident the kids still listen to rock ‘n’ roll!”
