“I remember my first concert, and that incredible band is actually here tonight to play a few songs”: Olivia Rodrigo’s first-ever gig was Weezer – now she’s played with them at Lollapalooza

Olivia Rodrigo and Rivers Cuomo .

Bringing a new entry to the ‘name a better duo’ challenge, Olivia Rodrigo welcomed Weezer onto her stage at Lollapolooza as the pop queen’s ’90s alt-rock love-in continues.

Rodrigo has made her love of power chords and guitar riffs no secret, having previously cited The Breeders, Hole, Sleater-Kinney, L7, and Babes in Toyland as influences, and she's also helping – alongside the effervescent Chappell Roan – to give guitar solos a resurgence in the mainstream.
