Fall Out Boy have released new single ‘ACES’ and announced their biggest headline tour yet, following weeks of clues scattered through their Twilight Town Mall website.
The Twilight Of The Punks tour will visit 36 cities across Europe, the UK and North America next year. A Day To Remember and Neck Deep will support the European and UK dates, with The Offspring, Good Charlotte and The Story So Far joining most of the North American run.
Fans following the Twilight Town Mall campaign had already encountered Ace’s Hifi among its fictional shops. The website also included security cameras, an arcade and storefront names drawn from the band’s catalogue, gradually building towards the announcement.
‘ACES’ is out through Atlantic Records with a video directed by Brendan Walter. While recording, Patrick Stump returned to guitar amplifiers he hadn’t used in years, telling Rolling Stone that hearing their familiar sound again was an eerie experience.

The tour opens in Prague on May 17th and includes London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 5th before the European leg finishes in Łódź, Poland, on June 13th.
North America follows from July 13th, with a hometown headline show at Chicago’s Soldier Field on July 24th among the biggest dates. The band will also play Fenway Park, Citi Field and Dodger Stadium before finishing in Portland on August 26th.
The tour’s title prompted a clarification from Pete Wentz, who told Rolling Stone: “This is not a farewell tour.”
Stump also addressed whether ‘ACES’ would lead into a follow-up to 2023’s So Much (For) Stardust, explaining that he and Wentz continue writing together without currently making an album.
“I can say honestly, currently there is no album. I’m not currently working on an album.”
Australian dates have not been announced. For now, the confirmed itinerary covers Europe, the UK, the US and Canada.
Presales begin Wednesday, November 11th, with general sales starting Thursday, November 12th. Times and exceptions vary by city, with full details available through Fall Out Boy’s official website.
