Troublemaker Tour
The Troublemaker Tour is Weezer's Fall 2008 arena tour to promote The Red Album. Angels and Airwaves and Tokyo Police Club were the opening acts. The Relationship opened for three shows: October 13, 14, and 17. Hootenannies were incorporated into the concerts, and were usually performed after first encore. Island in the Sun and Beverly Hills were usually performed.
Noticeably missing from this tour was the big light-up =w= that had been used in past tours. Instead the band opted for a giant light screen which had project images on it, some of videos sent in by the fans.
The band also decided to wear matching jumpsuits and track suits for the entire leg of the American tour. The band would perform the first two or three songs while wearing one-piece white jumpsuits, Scott often sporting a black bowler hat as well, and then they would undress on stage and all be wearing red Nike track suits with white details on them and saying "Weezer" on the back. For the encore, Rivers would usually change (off stage) into gym shorts and a jersey while sporting a headband and kicking a soccer ball around the stage and eventually into the crowd.

Japanese Leg ("Weezer Festival")
The Japanese Leg of the Troublemaker Tour was billed as the "Weezer Festival". This was because it is rare to have an opening act when performing in Japan and Weezer had two of them.

Notable merch
For all of the memorabilia sold on the Troublemaker tour that had the picture from the cover of The Red Album on it, Scott Shriner's shirt has "Devastating" written on it instead of "Death Defyin'," (shown below) as it appears on the album. This is a reference to an Albumsix meme that the band has picked up on.
