You’re up, Arizona and Mexico: Fall Out Boy will be heading over for a couple of festival appearances next year…
It’s been another incredible year of shows for Fall Out Boy – from headlining Download for the first time, to more recent celebrations like Riot Fest and When We Were Young – and the Chicago pop-punk heroes have already started adding to their 2025 calendar.
The band have revealed two new live dates – they’ll be joining The Killers atop the bill of Innings Festival in Tempe, Arizona in February, before heading to Monterrey, Mexico for Tecate Pal Norte with Green Day, Justin Timberlake, Olivia Rodrigo, Kings Of Leon and more in April.
Will there be any more after that? We’ll have to see…
Speaking to Kerrang! over the summer before they headlined Download, we asked Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz about their current So Much (For) Stardust era, and if Donington was the last chance for UK fans to see FOB this time around.
“I think so,” said Pete. “And I don’t say that in a ‘we’ll never play the UK again’ way, because I’m sure we will. I do think that of the ones that are on the books, this is probably the last one that’s on the books. But if there’s another show, then hit us up and we’ll come play (laughs). There’s no doom and gloom on it – it’s not like you’ll never see Fall Out Boy again. But yeah, I think this might be the closing of the chapter of that.”
“By the way,” added Patrick, “we always have to be careful about that, because every time we set it down for two seconds, it’s like, ‘Wait, is this a hiatus?’ It’s like, ‘No, no, no!’ It’s just the touring cycle is probably over for this record, after this. And then it’s the challenge of figuring out what the next thing is.”
