Fall Out Boy maps big spring tour
Fall Out Boy has revealed dates for a major spring tour in support of the band's recently released fifth studio set, "Folie a Deux."
The alt-rockers will kick off the outing April 9 in Phoenix, AZ, and then head out for more than 30 dates over the following six weeks. Details are included below. Tickets will be available in eight cities starting the weekend of Jan. 23, with the remainder of tickets going on sale Jan. 31. Check out the band's website for a list of the eight cities where tickets will be available early.
Released Dec. 16, "Folie a Deux" features guest appearances from a number of notable music figures, including several acts off the Decaydence Records roster, Lil Wayne, Pharrell, Debbie Harry and Elvis Costello. The album was originally scheduled for release Nov. 4 to coincide with Election Day before the band had second thoughts.
"This album kind of went a lot differently because we wanted to get the record out originally on the fourth of November," drummer Andy Hurley recently told LiveDaily. "We had a month-and-a-half to two months to do it. It was this awesome challenge to ourselves. We usually have as much time as we want.
"This kind of felt like 'Take This to Your Grave' when we had two weeks or even a week to record it," he added. "Everything we were doing on this record was the first thing that felt right. I think there's something really cool about that."
The new set follows 2007's "Infinity on High," which was the group's first No. 1 album in the US and spawned a pair of Top 10 singles in "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs."
