Fall Out Boy fans have a pretty exciting reason to start planning next summer. After keeping everyone guessing with a mysterious online campaign, the Chicago rock band has finally revealed what it was building towards: a massive 2027 world tour, a brand-new single and a return to the kind of pop-punk energy that made millions of listeners fall in love with the group.
Announced on November 9, the tour is called Twilight of the Punks, and it is officially the biggest headline tour of Fall Out Boy’s career. The band will play 36 shows across Europe, the UK and North America, taking its music from major European arenas to some of the most famous stadiums in the United States and Canada. For a group celebrating 25 years together, this feels like a pretty fitting way to enter its next chapter.
But the tour announcement wasn’t the only surprise. Fall Out Boy also released a new song called ACES, marking their first original single in more than three years. Suddenly, fans have two reasons to get excited: a major live tour and fresh music from a band that helped define an entire generation of alternative rock.
The Twilight of the Punks Tour Starts in Europe
Fall Out Boy will begin the tour on May 17, 2027, at Prague’s O2 Arena. The European and UK leg includes 15 performances across 11 countries, with stops in Budapest, Milan, Madrid, Lyon, Brussels, Mönchengladbach, Glasgow, Dublin, Manchester, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin and Łódź.
One of the biggest dates is June 5, when the band will perform at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. It is a major venue for a group whose early career was built around emotionally charged lyrics, catchy guitar hooks and a fiercely loyal fanbase.
British and European fans will also get an impressive supporting lineup. A Day To Remember and Neck Deep are scheduled to join Fall Out Boy across all 15 European and UK dates. That combination alone should make these concerts particularly appealing to people who grew up listening to the pop-punk and emo scenes of the 2000s.
North American Stadium Tour Includes a Special Chicago Homecoming
After finishing the European run on June 13, Fall Out Boy will return to North America for 21 more shows, beginning July 13 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The tour will continue through Atlanta, Washington, Detroit and Toronto before reaching Chicago on July 24 for a hometown performance at Soldier Field.
That Chicago show could be one of the most emotional nights of the entire tour. Fall Out Boy formed in the Chicago area, and returning to one of the city’s biggest stadiums after 25 years together gives the performance a significance beyond another stop on a concert schedule.
The North American leg also includes Fenway Park in Boston, Citi Field in New York, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Oracle Park in San Francisco and other major venues. The final currently announced show is scheduled for August 26 at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon.
The supporting acts are equally impressive. The Offspring and The Story So Far will join the North American dates, while Good Charlotte will also appear on most shows, with the announced exceptions of August 6 and August 7. It is a lineup that brings together several generations of punk and alternative rock, making the tour feel like a celebration of the genre rather than just a regular headline run.
Fall Out Boy’s New Song ACES Is Bringing Back Their Old Energy
For fans who have been waiting for new music, ACES might be the most exciting part of the announcement. The track is Fall Out Boy’s first new original release in more than three years and arrives through Atlantic Records with an official music video directed by Brendan Walter.
Produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Neil Avron, the song leans into the energetic hooks and punchy rock sound that helped establish the band in the first place. It carries a nostalgic feeling without simply trying to recreate an old album, which is an important distinction for a group that has spent decades changing its sound.
Fall Out Boy’s last studio album, So Much (For) Stardust, arrived in March 2023. Since then, fans have been waiting to see what direction Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley would take next. ACES gives them their first proper indication of what this new chapter might sound like.
The timing is also interesting because the band is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026. Rather than relying entirely on nostalgia, Fall Out Boy appears ready to use that milestone as an opportunity to introduce new music and take its live performances to an even bigger scale.
The Strange Halloween Campaign That Had Fans Guessing
The tour announcement didn’t arrive completely out of nowhere. Fall Out Boy had been dropping mysterious clues through an unusual online campaign that began around Halloween.
The band introduced something called Twilight Town Mall, transforming its website into a fictional shopping destination featuring different sections, including an arcade, a photo studio and a food court. The experience quickly became a playground for fans trying to work out what the band was preparing to announce.
Things became even more unusual when the Two Quarters Arcade appeared, featuring a live interactive claw machine. Fans could remotely control a real claw machine in an attempt to win a Fall Out Boy alien plush toy.
The response was enormous. The campaign reportedly generated nearly one million website visits and more than 6.1 million minutes of watch time, with the traffic becoming so intense that the servers temporarily crashed.
Looking back, the elaborate campaign was a clever way to build excitement without immediately revealing the tour. By the time the announcement arrived, fans had already spent days trying to solve the mystery.
When Do Fall Out Boy 2027 Tour Tickets Go on Sale?
Tickets are expected to attract considerable demand, particularly for the major stadium performances and the band’s hometown Chicago show. The artist presale for North American dates begins November 11, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time, while general ticket sales begin November 12 at 10 a.m. local time.
For most European and UK dates, artist presales begin November 11 at noon local time, followed by general sales on November 12 at noon. Lyon, Brussels, Paris and Łódź have a slightly different schedule, with their artist presales beginning November 12 and general sales starting November 13.
Fans can register for the artist presale and check the complete schedule through the band’s official website at falloutboy.com and its dedicated tour page.
Fall Out Boy Is Giving Pop-Punk Fans Something Big to Look Forward To
There is a reason this announcement feels bigger than an ordinary tour reveal. Fall Out Boy has spent 25 years moving between different musical eras, from the early emo scene to mainstream rock success and eventually enormous stadium performances. Yet the band has managed to maintain a connection with listeners who discovered its music at very different points in their lives.
The Twilight of the Punks tour brings that history together with a new single and a lineup of supporting artists that understand the same musical culture. For longtime listeners, it is a chance to hear songs that defined their younger years. For newer fans, it could be an opportunity to experience one of the biggest names in pop-punk performing on an enormous stage.
And with ACES now out in the world, it seems Fall Out Boy isn’t interested in simply looking backwards. The band has another chapter to write, and 2027 is shaping up to be its biggest opportunity yet.
