Fall Out Boy Tour 2013

Pop punk band Fall Out Boy took everyone by surprise on February 4, 2013 when they announced their unexpected reunion after several years. This was quickly followed by the release of a new single My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up), the promise of a new album and a rocking comeback tour across the U.S. later this spring.

The band was founded by guitarist Joe Trohman and bassist and lyricist Peter Wentz in 2001. They were soon joined by lead singer and composer Patrick Stump, and drummer Andy Hurley completed the foursome. They achieved large-scale fame in 2005 with their album From Under the Cork Tree, and the single Sugar, We're Goin Down went on to become their biggest hit.

In 2007, Fall Out Boy won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Group. They were actively involved in song-writing, recording and touring, but after their collaboration on the 2008 album Folie a Deux and their 2009 tour, they decided to indefinitely part ways to concentrate on their individual music careers. During this period, Stump released an album titled Soul Punk in 2011 and Wentz founded the band Black Cards. Trohman and Hurley set up a heavy metal band called The Damned Things.

But just about a fortnight ago, the Fall Out Boy members sent the public into a frenzy with their decision to make music together once again. Their exciting new album titled Save Rock N' Roll was slotted for release in May this year, but has now been brought forward to mid-April in a bid to please eager fans.

Fall Out Boy's 2013 U.S. tour is mainly planned for the promotion of this album, but their on-stage chemistry and high-energy concerts will render one hit after another from each the five albums they have released until now. The touring schedule begins on May 14 at the Rave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fall Out Boy will travel through several cities in the U.S. and Canada, finally performing the closing show on June 30 at the Ryman Auditorium at Nashville, Tennessee. The band members thoroughly enjoyed the warm welcome their announcement received, and now look forward to the whole-hearted support of their fans on the upcoming tour.
