Fall Out Boy have broken a three-year recording silence with the arrival of a new track titled Aces. The Chicago quartet, currently approaching their twenty-fifth year together, paired the single with plans for an extensive 2027 outing called the Twilight Of The Punks tour. The thirty-six-date calendar represents their largest live commitment to date, split between European indoor arenas and major outdoor sporting venues across the United States and Canada.
The arrival of Aces follows weeks of online clues that started circulating just before Halloween. Early social updates directed listeners toward a fictional setting called Twilight Town Mall. That concept soon expanded to the band's official website, which was revamped to look like a retro shopping center directory with clickable spaces for an arcade, a photo studio, and a food court. In the studio, the new track reunites the group with producer and mixer Neil Avron, who previously worked on several of their definitive pop punk records. His presence at the controls yields a punchy, driving rhythm section beneath direct vocal lines and prominent melodic hooks.
The European leg begins on May 17 at Prague's O2 Arena, followed by stops in Budapest, Milan, Madrid, Lyon, Brussels, and Mönchengladbach. From there, the tour travels to the UK and Ireland for four dates, starting May 30 at Glasgow's OVO Hydro and continuing to Dublin's 3Arena on June 1, Manchester's Co-op Live on June 3, and London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 5. Subsequent European stops include Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, and Łódź. Across the entirety of the UK and European run, support will come from A Day To Remember and Neck Deep.
By mid-summer, Fall Out Boy will shift into an open-air North American stadium itinerary comprising twenty-one shows. Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, hosts the opener on July 13. The band will then visit Atlanta's Truist Park, Washington's Nationals Park, Detroit's Fifth Third Park, Toronto's Rogers Stadium, and Chicago's Soldier Field. Into August, the schedule works through Boston's Fenway Park, New York's Citi Field, San Francisco's Oracle Park, San Diego's PETCO Park, and Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium. Other cities along the route include Nashville, Atlantic City, Hershey, St. Charles, Kansas City, Sandy, Phoenix, Seattle, and Portland. For these domestic stadium dates, the supporting lineup features The Offspring, Good Charlotte, and The Story So Far.
To celebrate the new single and mark their twenty-fifth anniversary, the band arranged a free launch event in London. Electrowerkz will host the eighteen-plus party on Wednesday, November 11, running from 7pm to 11pm with entry offered on a first-come basis. The evening will include an appearance by tribute band Fell Out Boy, a DJ set from Radio 1 presenter Alyx Holcombe, themed cocktails, promotional giveaways, and complimentary flash tattooing by Old Sarum Tattoo.
