Fall Out Boy Announce “Twilight of the Punks” 2027 Tour and New Single “ACES”
Tour artwork by Brandon Schwartzel.
The elder emo group chat can finally put the detective board down and pick a show. After sending us through a fake shopping mall, a suspicious mattress store and an actual claw machine, Fall Out Boy have announced their Twilight of the Punks Tour for 2027. The North American lineup brings The Offspring, Good Charlotte and The Story So Far along for the ride.
The announcement also comes with “ACES,” released November 9 through Atlantic Records, and an official music video directed by Brendan Walter. The band’s first new original single in more than three years is produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Neal Avron.
The North American run hits 21 stops, opening July 13 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and closing August 26 at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon. The routing includes Fenway Park, Citi Field, Dodger Stadium and a hometown show at Chicago’s Soldier Field on July 24. The wider tour totals 36 dates, with A Day To Remember and Neck Deep joining the European and UK leg, which starts May 17 in Prague.
This bill covers a few different chapters of the scene, with The Offspring bringing the songs that lived on our older siblings’ stereos, Good Charlotte and Fall Out Boy cover the burned-CD years, and The Story So Far arrive with enough emotional baggage to require their own trailer. There is a very good chance you are all three of those people.
One lineup detail worth checking before making plans: Good Charlotte will not appear August 6 in St. Charles, Iowa, or August 7 in Kansas City.
SO, WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON AT THE MALL?
If you followed our first trip through Twilight Town Mall, the tour and single give the whole thing a clearer shape. The band built a fictional shopping center on its website, with stores opening in stages and clues scattered between the directory, security feeds, Box Office and Lost & Found. It invited fans to poke around the band’s history while something new slowly came into focus. A very effective way to make grown adults investigate an imaginary food court during work.
Some of the breadcrumbs were sitting right on the storefronts. Aces Hifi Records carried the new single’s title before the announcement, and its page invited fans to text for new music. Lake Effect Kids Toys points toward “Lake Effect Kid,” while its lawyer-themed sales copy and reference to young volcanoes wink at other familiar song titles. The directory also includes Two Quarters Arcade, Flash Flash Flash Photography Studio and Toy Works Comics. My read: this is a tour through the band’s wider world, with different eras sharing the same mall.
The Lost & Found had a bracelet spelled T.O.T.P., which now has an obvious connection to Twilight of the Punks. The ace card looks like another “ACES” breadcrumb, and elsewhere, the antler headband recalls the “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” video, the pink shell points back toward the So Much (For) Stardust rollout, and the eight ball will look familiar to anyone who followed the band’s surprise-song tradition. Those connections are interpretations of the objects, but the objects themselves are right there to inspect, and are all nods of something to come or references to FOB history in some extent to another.
And yes, the claw machine was real. The Two Quarters Arcade let fans remotely operate a physical machine for a chance to win a Fall Out Boy alien plush. The Box Office supplied the other practical clue, with an automated message pointing fans toward November 9 at 10:30 a.m. Pacific. The rollout gave people a reason to keep returning, whether they wanted to solve something or just rescue a tiny alien. Both are respectable uses of an afternoon.
WHERE “ACES” LEAVES THE STORY
“ACES” gives this campaign a new song at its center. The record-store name, playing card and handwritten note now feel like parts of a reveal we were walking through before we knew what to call it. The fire imagery suggests endurance to me, which fits a band bringing its history into a new chapter. This might also be hint to a bigger story or something ahead, given that FOB has done video stories that tie together in the past with their Save Rock N Roll album. ACES feels like a reference to ACES Chemicals in the DC Batman Universe, Patrick Stump has worked with DC in the past, even the entire band being in the Teen Titans Go! Cartoon. Anyhoo, this is my reading of the rollout, the official video is embedded below so you can take your own lap through it, and for now, we have a new single, its official video and a tour that is about to turn several generations of scene kids into one very loud stadium choir.
