Fall Out Boy Announce 36-City 'Twilight of the Punks' Tour for 2027

Fall Out Boy will play 36 cities worldwide in 2027 on the Twilight of the Punks Tour, the biggest headlining run of their 25-year career, announced alongside a new single, "Aces." The European and U.K. leg opens May 17 at Prague's O2 Arena; the 21-date North American run starts July 13 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and closes Aug. 26 at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon. Artist pre-sales begin Wednesday, Nov. 11, with general on-sale Thursday, Nov. 12.

"Keep the fire alive," Patrick Stump sings on the new track, "through trying times, through the slow decay and the rapid decline." The song extends the live-band sound the band pursued on 2023's So Much (For) Stardust, from Joe Trohman's tricky intro guitar riff to Andy Hurley's fills and kick-drum work.

Who is touring with them?

The Offspring, Good Charlotte and the Story So Far open for most North American dates; A Day to Remember and Neck Deep support in Europe and the U.K. The Chicago band plays its hometown Soldier Field on July 24 — a first. "Will Fall Out Boy ever get to play Soldier Field again? I don't know," Pete Wentz said. "So maybe we should do something that will be added to Soldier Field's Wikipedia."

Trohman, who had surgery for nerve damage in his hand and previously missed tour dates, is confirmed for the run. "He was able to record, and everything was all good with that, so he'll be at the shows," Wentz said.

Is this a farewell tour?

No, despite the title. "This is not a farewell tour," Wentz said. "I do always think that at some point it's the last thing you make, and it should be important. [But] this is not it." He added that longer gaps between tours and albums reflect a wish that everything "feel important, and not just, 'Oh, they tour every three years and put out a throwaway thing.'"

There is also, Stump insisted, no new album. "I can say honestly, currently there is no album. I'm not currently working on an album." Wentz floated other formats: "I would love to do a Fall Out Boy musical. I just wanna do something that has a slightly skewed perspective."

How was 'Aces' made?

Stump returned to the guitar amps he used on "Sugar, I'm Going Down," which recently placed in the Top 20 of Rolling Stone's Best Rock Songs of the 21st Century. "I dug out some old amplifiers that I hadn't played on since probably 2008," he said. "I was like, 'Oh, wow, that sounds very 2006.'" He noted he now plays those parts knowing music theory, unlike at 19.

Wentz, 47 since June, said the song's midlife themes are deliberate: "It used to be the question, 'Can you imagine getting on the stage when you're 50?' And I'm like, it's three years away!" His children judged the song "nostalgic" in sound but "very 2026" in its lyrics.

What can fans expect on stage?

No production has been designed yet. Wentz wants an immersive world in the spirit of Jim Henson — "something that you can only experience there" — and framed the tour as his Guns N' Roses–Metallica stadium moment, one his parents never let him attend. "This is our chance to do the biggest version of the whole thing," he said. Stump, for his part, plans to stay unpolished: "I'm just some schmuck that sings."

With Soldier Field, Fenway Park, Citi Field and Dodger Stadium on the itinerary, the band has one summer to prove a 2000s-era rock band can still fill baseball stadiums.
