Group gave “Aces” its live debut as they teased upcoming Twilight of the Punks tour
Fall Out Boy played a surprise set at L.A.’s Koreatown Plaza on Tuesday, thrilling fans and (maybe) winning over clueless shoppers. They kicked things off with the live debut of “Aces.” The crowd knew the lyrics and sang them louder than Patrick Stump, clapping their hands when the music fell out in the middle: “We’re playin’ aces high, but you’re wild like me.” Some fans watched the set from the mall’s second floor, peering over the balcony. The group’s set featured some of their biggest hits, including “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Saturday.”
The band released “Aces” on Monday to tease its upcoming 2027 stadium tour, dubbed Twilight of the Punks, set to kick off in Arlington, Texas, on July 13. The signs around the group at the mall all teased the gigs. Fall Out Boy will be headlining the trek over the Offspring, Good Charlotte, and the Story So Far in North America. A Day to Remember and Neck Deep will join them in Europe for a run of dates before the U.S. leg. Full details are on the tour’s website.
“This is not a farewell tour,” the band’s Pete Wentz told Rolling Stone when the tour was announced. “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. This is not what I’m saying at all. … The more we go into our family life and whatnot, I do know that it’s been longer between the tours and longer between the albums, and I just think it’s because we want it all to feel important, and not just, ‘Oh, they tour every three years and put out a throwaway thing.’” (Stump told Rolling Stone that the band is not preparing a new album.)
