Fall Out Boy
The 36-date Twilight of the Punks Tour hits European arenas in May before a 21-show North American stadium run.
Fall Out Boy have announced the Twilight of the Punks Tour on Monday (Nov. 9), a 36-date global run across stadiums and arenas in Europe, the U.K. and North America in 2027. They’ve also released “ACES,” their first new original single in more than three years, via Atlantic Records.
The Live Nation-promoted tour opens May 17 at Prague’s O2 Arena and runs 15 dates through 11 European and U.K. countries, taking in Budapest, Milan, Madrid, Lyon, Brussels, Mönchengladbach, Glasgow, Dublin and Manchester. The leg peaks June 5 at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and wraps June 13 at Atlas Arena in Łódź, Poland. A Day to Remember and Neck Deep support throughout.
North America follows with 21 stadium dates, opening July 13 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and closing Aug. 26 at Providence Park in Portland, Ore. The run includes Toronto’s Rogers Stadium, Boston’s Fenway Park, Citi Field in Queens, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and a hometown show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, the band’s first headline stadium date in the city where they formed. The Offspring and The Story So Far play all North American dates, with Good Charlotte on every show except Aug. 6 and 7.
“ACES” was produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Neal Avron, with a video directed by Brendan Walter. The release lands as the band marks 25 years together.
The rollout leaned on an elaborate online build. Fall Out Boy began teasing in late October with a post about a fictional “Twilight Town Mall,” then rebuilt their website as an interactive shopping directory. A “Two Quarters Arcade” followed, built with Brooklyn agency LOOP, letting fans remotely operate a real claw machine to win a band-branded plush. The band says it drew close to a million site visits and 6.1 million minutes of watch time, and crashed their servers.
Tickets go on general sale Thursday (Nov. 12) at 10 a.m. local time in North America and noon local in Europe and the U.K., with most markets excluding Lyon, Brussels, Paris and Łódź, which follow Friday (Nov. 13). An artist presale begins Wednesday (Nov. 11), alongside a Reserved by Spotify presale in select North American markets.
Fall Out Boy have four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, three of them consecutive: Save Rock and Roll, American Beauty/American Psycho and M A N I A, which earned a Grammy nomination for best rock album. Their most recent album, 2023’s So Much (For) Stardust, debuted at No. 1 on Top Rock Albums, and its lead single “Love From the Other Side” became their first No. 1 on Alternative Airplay. In 2021 they co-headlined the Hella Mega Tour with Green Day and Weezer.
