  On December 31, 2018, Weezer performed live at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, showcasing their cover of "Africa," originally by Toto. This performance came shortly after the release of "The Black Album," which was made available on March 1, 2019. "The Black Album" marked a continuation of Weezer's evolving sound, demonstrating their willingness to experiment while still retaining their signature style. The choice to perform "Africa" was particularly significant, as it had gained massive popularity following a viral campaign and unexpected resurgence, culminating in Weezer's own studio version released in 2018. This moment at the New Year's Eve celebration not only highlighted the band's presence in the pop culture landscape but also served as a bridge between their past hits and their newer ventures, as fans eagerly anticipated the album that would soon follow.
