Weezer have announced that their new studio album will be called 'Hurley'.

The follow-up to 2009's 'Raditude' will be released on September 13 in the UK and September 14 in the US.

The announcement coincides with the band's decision to join Epitaph Records following their departure from Geffen in 2009.

Weezer are set to headline the Reading and Leeds festivals later this month.

Meanwhile, the band also topped the bill at last weekend's Osheaga festival in Montreal.
