Fall Out Boy has announced the biggest headlining tour of its career, a 36-city world run called The Twilight of the Punks Tour that will stretch through 2027 and bring the band to Chicago’s Soldier Field for the first time. The new live schedule lands alongside a fresh single, “Aces,” and gives fans a clear map for what comes next: a long run of stadium-sized shows, starting overseas in May and rolling into North America in July.
The date most likely to draw the sharpest attention is July 24, when the band plays Soldier Field in its hometown. That stop matters because the band has never headlined its own show there before, and it sits inside a North American leg that begins July 13 in Arlington, Texas, then closes Aug. 26 in Portland, Oregon. The European and U.K. leg opens May 17 at Prague’s O2 Arena, while The Offspring, Good Charlotte and the Story So Far will open for most of the North American run.
The timing also explains why the tour is generating so much search traffic now. Artist pre-sales begin Wednesday, Nov. 11, and general on-sale starts Thursday, Nov. 12, so the announcement is not just a marker of scale but a ticket clock. The band is doing this in its 25th year, a milestone that makes the promise of a 36-city itinerary feel less like a routine outing and more like a statement about where Fall Out Boy wants to place its live show next.
Pete Wentz also brushed against the idea that this could be some sort of final chapter and rejected it outright. He said Joe Trohman “will be at the shows” after surgery for nerve damage in his hand, and he called the run “not a farewell tour.” That said, Wentz also made clear the group does not want its work to drift into something casual or automatic. The point, he suggested, is not simply to keep playing, but to make what they do feel like it still matters.
That idea fits with the new single, which is built around the line “Keep the fire alive,” and with the band’s return to a live-band sound that began with 2023’s So Much (For) Stardust. Patrick Stump has also been blunt about where the band stands creatively, saying there is “currently no album” and that he is not working on one. For now, the road is the project, and the next clear deadline is the start of ticket sales this week.
What fans know for certain is this: Fall Out Boy is not stepping away, but it is also not pretending the road ahead will be ordinary. The question left hanging is whether the band turns this tour cycle into a new record after the shows are done, or leaves the momentum where it started, onstage.
