Fall Out Boy Fashions Stadium Tour, New Single

Fall Out Boy is turning the page on a new chapter with a major tour announcement and its first original music in more than three years.

The Crush-managed, CAA-booked band has unveiled the 36-date Twilight of the Punks world tour, billed as the biggest global outing of its career, and new single “ACES,” issued by Atlantic Records.

Promoted by Live Nation, the trek opens May 17 at Prague’s O2 Arena and runs through June 13, taking in 15 European and U.K. dates in 11 countries. A Day To Remember and Neck Deep will support, including a June 5 date at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The North American stadium run begins July 13 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and concludes Aug. 26 at Portland, Oregon’s Providence Park. The 21-date leg will also visit Boston’s Fenway Park, New York’s Citi Field, Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium and Chicago’s Soldier Field, a hometown milestone for the band.

The Offspring, Good Charlotte and The Story So Far will appear on most U.S. dates. Presale registration is open now, with general tickets going on sale Nov. 12.

As for “ACES,” the band has been building anticipation through an elaborate “Twilight Town Mall” campaign online, installing an interactive arcade featuring a remotely operated claw machine. The activation, which the band says has drawn nearly 1m site visits and 6.1m minutes of watch time, temporarily overwhelmed servers.

HITS was temporarily overwhelmed when it tried to sing Fall Out Boy’s “Centuries” at a 2015 office karaoke party.
