Cumulus Media’s “Your Music Plus” Series Shares Exclusive Insights From Weezer on the Renewed Interest in Their 2015 Song “Go Away” in Eight-Week Nationwide Audio Campaign

"Your Music Plus" Campaign to Air on Cumulus Media's Mainstream Rock and Alternative Stations Across the U.S.

ATLANTA, GA - April 13, 2026 - Cumulus Media announces that it is back with a new installment of its popular original audio series, Your Music Plus - this time, for Rock and Alternative Rock fans. The audio series will feature Weezer's "Go Away," a duet with Bethany Cosentino of the Indie Pop band Best Coast and a deep cut originally heard on Weezer's 2015 album Everything Will Be Alright in the End.

In the new Your Music Plus audio campaign, Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo takes listeners behind the scenes into the making of "Go Away" and why it is now gaining new traction and relevance in 2026, over 10 years after its initial release. The series will air for the next eight weeks on Cumulus Media's Mainstream Rock and Alternative stations across the U.S.

Greg Frey, VP of Music Partnerships, Cumulus Media, said: "We're so thrilled to partner with our friends at Crush Music to bring Weezer's "long lost" song "Go Away" to Your Music Plus. The song captures the catchy, fun side of Weezer. With exclusive audio from Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, this new YMP campaign tells the story of how this 10-year-old song has found prominence in 2026."

"Go Away" gained renewed interest earlier this year when TikTok creators began using it in their short-form audio content. The song now ranks as Weezer's most-streamed song ever.

Your Music Plus highlights new music in a unique way by sharing with radio listeners the thoughts of the biggest stars in different formats in a series of revealing and exclusive vignettes across AC, Alternative, CHR, Country, Hot AC, Rock and Urban formats. The shows feature artist commentary on the song, with artists presenting different aspects of their song's personal meaning, the inspiration behind the music, and insights on their life and career.

About Weezer

Weezer is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, CA, in 1992, currently consisting of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, lead guitar), Patrick Wilson (drums), Brian Bell (rhythm guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), and Scott Shriner (bass, backing vocals). Weezer has sold 10 million albums in the U.S., and over 35 million records worldwide. Their catalog has included such megahits as "Buddy Holly," "Undone (The Sweater Song)," "Say It Ain't So," "El Scorcho," "Hash Pipe," "Island In The Sun," "Beverly Hills," "Pork and Beans," and more. Weezer has won Grammys, MTV Video Music Awards, and more throughout their career. Following massively acclaimed album releases in 2016 and 2017 (Weezer [The White Album] and Pacific Daydream, respectively), and two sold out amphitheater tours with Panic! At the Disco (in 2016) and Pixies (in 2018), Weezer released a fan-inspired cover of Toto's "Africa." The cover propelled the band back into the charts across the board and has since gone Platinum. In 2021, Weezer released two very different but equally Weezer albums - OK Human, an orchestral pop album, and Van Weezer, an homage to the band's shared metal roots growing up. OK Human's first single, "All My Favorite Songs," was one of the biggest rock hits of 2021, and was subsequently nominated for a Grammy for "Best Rock Song." In 2022, the band released SZNZ, a four EP project inspired by Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and completed the European leg of the Hella Mega tour, which sold out stadiums in America throughout the year prior. In 2023, the band embarked on an incredible sold-out run across North America called the Indie Rock Road Trip, which was hailed as one of the best tours of the summer. May 10, 2024, marked the 30th anniversary of Weezer's iconic, critically-acclaimed self-titled debut, also known as the Blue Album. The band then went on a sold-out, celebratory North American arena tour, Voyage To The Blue Planet. In 2026, Weezer will hit the road again: their newest tour - Weezer: The Gathering - kicks off this fall.
