The Crystal Method Celebrates 25 Years of 'Tweekend' with Special Vinyl Edition and Tour

The Crystal Method’s landmark album 'Tweekend,' which was first released in July 2001, has officially turned 25, marking a significant milestone in the realm of electronic music. To celebrate this anniversary, The Crystal Method (TCM) has partnered with Interscope Records to release a stunning sunset-orange double-vinyl edition of the album via the label DTC. This special edition hit the shelves on July 24, 2026, and is limited to just 3,000 individually numbered copies globally. Each package comes with a bonus collector's CD of the remastered full album and a TCM sticker, making it a must-have for avid fans and collectors alike.

Originally, 'Tweekend' featured an impressive lineup of collaborations, including contributions from Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, the late Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots, and multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion. The album represented a pivotal moment for the group, evolving their sound from breakbeat-heavy electronica toward a more rock-influenced direction. Scott Kirkland of The Crystal Method remarked on their attempt to broaden their musical horizons and their collaboration with Morello, which he credited as a catalyst for successfully bridging electronic and rock music.

In conjunction with the remastered vinyl release, TCM is also set to drop a remix package of their hit single 'Name of the Game' on August 21, 2026. This new remix package will feature reworks from industry stalwarts Paul Oakenfold, Equalateral, and Future Funk Squad. Oakenfold, a long-time collaborator and friend of TCM, even adds a personal touch with a remix featured in Microsoft’s Xbox 25th Anniversary Collection Reveal Trailer.

Moreover, the celebrations are not limited to the release of physical media, as The Crystal Method will embark on a co-headlining fall U.S. tour alongside Paul Oakenfold, beginning October 2, 2026, in Kansas City. Fans can look forward to an exhilarating performance in major markets, including a Halloween event in New York City and a show in Las Vegas on November 7. Tickets for this anticipated tour go on sale tomorrow, July 24, at thecrystalmethod.com. Kirkland expressed gratitude for the support from fans, emphasizing that touring has been a rewarding experience post-pandemic and highlighting the joy of collaborating with Oakenfold to create unforgettable nights across the country.

With the combination of the limited-edition vinyl release, an exciting remix package, and a nostalgic tour on the horizon, it’s a perfect opportunity for both seasoned fans and new listeners to experience the lasting impact of The Crystal Method’s seminal work, 'Tweekend.' As the electronic music community celebrates this landmark anniversary, TCM not only pays homage to its past but also looks ahead to the future, continuing to redefine the boundaries of electronic music.
