Fall Out Boy has announced a 36-date global headline run called the Twilight of the Punks Tour, set to launch May 17 at Prague’s O2 Arena and run through European and UK arenas before moving into North American stadiums in July. The band, promoted by Live Nation, describes it as the largest tour of its career, spanning 11 countries and wrapping August 26 at Portland’s Providence Park.
The European and UK leg, running through mid-June, includes stops in Budapest, Milan, Madrid, Brussels, Glasgow, Dublin and Manchester, with A Day To Remember and Neck Deep as support. The North American leg kicks off July 13 in Arlington, Texas, and includes stadium dates at Fenway Park, Citi Field, Dodger Stadium and a hometown show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, with The Offspring, Good Charlotte and The Story So Far joining on most dates.
Alongside the tour announcement, Fall Out Boy released a new single, “Aces,” its first original song in more than three years, produced by longtime collaborator Neil Avron with an accompanying music video directed by Brendan Walter. The release and tour mark the band’s 25th anniversary. General ticket sales begin November 12, following presales starting November 11.
