Last Wednesday (April 9), Loudwire<\/a> reported that Jillian Lauren \u2013 wife of Weezer<\/a> bassist Scott Shriner<\/a> \u2013 was shot by police and later booked for attempted murder. Shortly before that, Weezer were announced as a last-minute addition to Coachella<\/a> 2025, and they indeed played a substantial set during the festival yesterday.<\/p>\n The three-day festival is currently taking place at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, Calif. Weezer took to the Mojava stage<\/a> during the afternoon of the second day, and per setlist.fm<\/a>, their 12-song set included both big hits (\u201cHash Pipe<\/a>,\u201d \u201cIsland in the Sun<\/a>,\u201d \u201cSay it Ain\u2019t So<\/a>,\u201d \u201cBuddy Holly<\/a>,\u201d etc.) and lesser-known cuts (\u201cPork and Beans<\/a>,\u201d \u201cSurf Wax America<\/a>,\u201d \u201cPerfect Situation<\/a>\u201d). Interestingly, they focused solely on material from their first five LPs (ranging from 1994\u2019s Weezer<\/em>, or The Blue Album<\/em>, to 2005\u2019s Make Believe<\/em>).<\/p>\n According to Consequence<\/a>, the group also covered Metallica\u2019s iconic \u201cEnter Sandman<\/a>\u201d (prompting a \u201cmassive sing-along from the crowd\u201d), complete with \u201ca blistering solo\u201d from frontman\/guitarist Rivers Cuomo<\/a> before \u201cworking in a little taste of \u2018Buddy Holly.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, Consequence noted, the band revised the dialogue intro of \u201cUndone \u2013 The Sweater Song<\/a>\u201d so that guitarist Brian Bell could acknowledge Coachella and \u201cmention . . . an after-party in Green Day<\/a>\u2019s dressing room.\u201d (Green Day played the main stage last night.) Weezer also \u201cswitched up the lyrics to \u2018Beverly Hills<\/a>,\u2019 shouting, \u2018Living in Coachella, California\u2019\u201d instead.<\/p>\n Per the L.A. Times<\/a>, there was understandably no mention of the incident involving Lauren. On the contrary, Shriner appeared on stage \u201cpump[ing] his fist and [drawing] a huge round of cheers from the overflow crowd of several thousands.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Variety<\/a>, and between \u201cPork and Beans\u201d and \u201cUndone \u2013 The Sweater Song,\u201d Cuomo declared: \u201cWe were making the Weezer movie back in Los Angeles, but when Coachella called and asked if we could make a surprise appearance, we said \u2018Heck yeah.\u2019 It\u2019s so great to be here with all you guys and let out all these emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: What Does Toto’s Guitarist REALLY Think of Weezer’s ‘Africa’ Cover?<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n You can see Weezer\u2019s entire setlist \u2013 as well as videos from their performance \u2013 below.<\/p>\n 01. “My Name Is Jonas\u201d By all accounts, Weezer\u2019s set was majorly welcomed and enjoyed by concertgoers, and while it certainly received enthusiastic responses on social media, it also received some pushback (to put it lightly).<\/p>\n For example, one user on X showed modest disappointment about their setlist<\/a>: \u201cWatching Weezer’s Coachella performance. I still have good memories about them, just always a what if scenario of just how great they could have been if Rivers didn’t venture into pop.\u00a0 They’ve had good to great songs since their past, but not a single 2010+ song in the set.\u201d<\/p>\n On April 10, someone on X replied<\/a> to Weezer\u2019s post about Coachella: \u201cI\u2019m so excited to see y\u2019all again!!! But I also want to say I understand if you all don\u2019t and I hope you know fans would understand why you wouldn\u2019t. Sending all the love.\u201d<\/p>\n However, other responses have been considerably more negative and abrasive.<\/p>\n For instance, one person asked<\/a>: \u201cWhen will the new album \u201cBullet Sponge Bitch\u201d be released?\u201d Likewise, another person joked<\/a>, \u201cI heard weezer was gonna cover who shot the sheriff at Coachella but for some reason decided against it. Haha get it,\u201d whereas someone else proclaimed<\/a>: \u201cYour fucking libtard idiots. I’ll never spend another dime on anything Weezer. And tell your bass player his hooker wife is going to prison for a very long time!\u201d<\/p>\n You can see those responses below.<\/p>\n As mentioned above, Loudwire reported last week that on Tuesday, April 8, \u201cpolice . . . shot\u201d Lauren and \u201cbooked her for attempted murder while they were pursing suspects in a Lost Angeles hit-and-run.\u201d<\/p>\n Per the Los Angeles Police Department<\/a>, the incident happened after California Highway Patrol \u201crequested a backup locating three misdemeanor hit-and-run suspects who fled into a residential neighborhood near the 134 Freeway and Figueroa Street.\u201d<\/p>\n As they entered the rear yard of a residence on the 5300 block of Waldo Place, they saw Lauren \u201carmed with a handgun\u201d \u2013 Loudwire wrote \u2013 and after refusing to drop the weapon, she pointed it at officers.<\/p>\n Per TMZ<\/a>, she was then shot in the shoulder when officers fired back. Subsequently, she was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for the non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Loudwire added: \u201cShe was ultimately booked for attempted murder, and a 9-millimeter handgun was found at her residence. Cops determined that Lauren was not involved in the hit-and-run.\u201d<\/p>\n On April 10, Loudwire reported<\/a> that Lauren was \u201creleased on $1 million bond\u201d alongside confirming that she \u201cfired a single shot [at officers]\u201d as she ignored orders to drop her gun (prompting them to fire back).
