Weezer, Green Day and Fall Out Boy, all Crush clients, recently wrapped the North American leg of the Hella Mega tour, which creative director Bronski of Tawbox describes as, “A big party night of rock music with three of the most insane bands altogether in stadiums, with all fans of all bands just getting a ridiculous show.”
It next heads to the U.K. and Europe in summer 2022.
