Fall Out Boy have announced the Twilight of the Punks Tour, a 36-city worldwide run in 2027 that includes their first concert at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The band also released “Aces,” a new single built around a live-band sound; frontman Patrick Stump says there is currently no album in the works.
Fall Out Boy have announced the Twilight of the Punks Tour, a 36-city worldwide run in 2027, and released their new single, “Aces.” The North American leg includes the band’s first show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, while singer Patrick Stump said there is currently no new album in progress.
The tour includes a 21-date North American leg, opening July 13 in Arlington, Texas, and ending Aug. 26 in Portland, Oregon. The band will play Soldier Field on July 24, marking its first performance at the Chicago stadium. The European and U.K. dates begin May 17 at Prague’s O2 Arena. The tour is billed as the biggest headlining run of Fall Out Boy’s career, according to the band’s announcement as reported by Rolling Stone.
The Offspring, Good Charlotte and the Story So Far are set to open for most of the North American dates. Artist presales are scheduled to begin Wednesday, Nov. 11, with general sales starting Thursday, Nov. 12. The announcement arrives during the band’s 25th year.
“Aces” brings the group’s guitar, drums and vocals to the fore. The report describes Joe Trohman’s opening guitar part and Andy Hurley’s active drumming as central to the track’s sound. Stump said he used older guitar amplifiers associated with the sound of the band’s 2006 album, From Under the Cork Tree. Bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz said Trohman had been able to record after surgery for nerve damage in his hand and “he’ll be at the shows.”
Soldier Field Marks a Hometown Milestone
The Soldier Field date gives Fall Out Boy a high-profile hometown stop during a tour that spans North America and Europe. It will be the band’s first concert at the stadium, a notable change of scale for a group formed in the Chicago area. Wentz said he was unsure whether they would get another chance to play there, adding that the band wanted to make the occasion count.
The tour also puts the group’s next live chapter in focus as it marks 25 years together. The band is promoting a new song alongside the tour, but its comments do not point to an imminent album: Stump said no album is currently being made. That distinction matters for fans trying to gauge whether “Aces” signals a larger release or is a standalone track for now.

A Live-Band Sound Takes Shape
The new single follows 2023’s So Much (For) Stardust, which the report describes as part of Fall Out Boy’s return to a more live-band sound. Stump connected “Aces” to earlier guitar tones by bringing back amplifiers he had not used since around 2008. He said hearing them again felt familiar but also different because he now approaches playing with more musical knowledge.
Wentz framed the band’s sound as something that has changed with the musical landscape. He said their 2013 album Save Rock and Roll and 2015’s American Beauty/American Psycho came at a time when pop radio was especially influential, while the band’s later work reflected a different appetite for music that felt unusual or authentic. The tour’s “Twilight” name should not be read as a farewell signal: Wentz explicitly said, “This is not a farewell tour.”
““This is not a farewell tour.””

No Album Has Been Confirmed
The announcement confirms a single and tour, but does not confirm an album, its recording schedule or a release date. Stump said no album is currently in progress. Wentz said he felt there might be more needed to complete the picture, but did not identify an album as the next step and mentioned a musical as one possible creative direction.
The source material does not provide a complete list of tour stops or ticket prices. Wentz said Trohman is expected to play the shows after recording, but the report does not provide further details about his recovery or whether any date-specific arrangements could change.
Presales Begin November 11
Artist presales are scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 11, followed by the general on-sale on Thursday, Nov. 12. The first listed European date is May 17, 2027, in Prague; the North American leg is set to start July 13 in Arlington. Fans will need the band’s ticketing announcements for full date, venue and presale-access details.
For now, the next confirmed milestones are the ticket sales and the 2027 concerts. The band has not announced an album or given a timetable for any further music beyond “Aces.”
