Weezer (Red Album) is the band’s boldest album, sonically and lyrically, fearlessly reaching places never before heard in popular music. The Red Album's first single "Pork and Beans" just spent 11 weeks at #1 at Modern Rock radio (the longest streak for a song in 2008) and it's accompanying video has been viewed on Youtube over ten million times. The song is about self-empowerment, where people are urged to follow their instincts as exemplified by the lyrics "I'm a do the things that I want to do/I ain't got a thing to prove to you."

Opening Weezer’s tour are Angels and Airwaves and Tokyo Police Club.

San Diego-based Angels and Airwaves are currently headlining all of Warped Tour 2008 in support of their sophomore release I-Empire, which debuted in the top ten and spawned the hit single "Everything's Magic". Singer and guitarist Tom Delonge says, "the Weezer tour is an amazing event, not only for us as a band, but its going to be the best tour of the year for fans, we're excited to be a part of it".

Tokyo Police Club is a 4-piece band from Toronto, Ontario. Following one of the most successful 16 minutes in recent history (2006's A Lesson in Crime EP) is back and currently on the road supporting their critically acclaimed debut full length Elephant Shell.
