Fall Out Boy Mania Tour

20-CITY NORTH AMERICAN ARENA TOUR BEGINS FALL 2017

$1 OF EVERY TICKET SOLD WILL BENEFIT A NUMBER OF CHICAGO-AREA CHARITIES VIA NEWLY LAUNCHED FALL OUT BOY FUND


 

“Young and Menace” – written and produced by Fall Out Boy – is the first taste of new music off the band’s forthcoming seventh studio album M A  N   I    A, out September 15, 2017 on Island Records/DCD2 Records. M A  N   I    A is available for pre-order now at https://falloutboy.lnk.to/mania.

 

“There’s a lyric in the song, ‘trying to send the world a message, I was young and a menace,’ that reminded me of growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. I didn't look like anyone there or feel like anyone – I felt like an outsider in my own town. It wasn't until I discovered punk rock and that community that I realized I did fit in somewhere in this world – with the other people who didn't fit in,” says Fall Out Boy bassist & lyricist Pete Wentz of the reasoning behind the song’s title. “It’s hard to rationalize rage – it’s hard to quantify anxiety... this song does neither, it embraces the wave…”

 

Of the video, Wentz describes the protagonist’s journey to explore the world outside one she’s previously known. “The concept is the idea of a movie like Elf, where he realizes maybe he isn’t an elf after all, but ours has less comedic elements and more real world implication. She realizes that maybe she is human after all – but maybe the line between us and monsters is blurrier than we think…”

 

The band will embark on a 20-city North American fall arena tour, kicking off in Cleveland, OH on October 20 and travel through cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Oakland and San Diego before concluding in Phoenix, AZ on November 18.

 

FALL OUT BOY will play Spectrum Center Charlotte on Friday November 3.  Tickets go on sale Friday May 5 at 10am at LiveNation.com, via the Live Nation app, the Spectrum Center box office, Ticketmaster, or by phone 800-745-3000.    Pre-sale tickets will be available beginning Monday, May 1.  Special guest for the tour will be announced at a later date. In addition, $1 of every ticket of the tour will go towards the band’s newly launched Fall Out Boy Fund which will support a number of charities in the Chicago area.
