Well It‘s official, Fall Out Boy are back. In late 2009 the band shocked fans with the announcement that they were on a hiatus in order to pursue side projects. Rumours of a reunion have been passed around over the web since October last year when they all got together for singer, Patrick Stumps wedding. However on the 4th February the band released a statement on their official website and Twitter with a photo of themselves stating,
''The future of Fall Out Boy starts now. Save Rock And Roll.’’
Fall Out Boy announced a series of intimate tour dates on the same day. The tour kicked off in their home town of Chicago. The only UK dates to take place are held at Camden Underworld on the 25th February and Leeds & Reading in August. Tickets for The Underworld sold out when tickets apparently went on sale three minutes before they were supposed to. This left fans outraged, even more so when websites such as Viagogo placed tickets on-line later in the day for £300.
The Underworld holds a capacity of 500 people and a few lucky fans will get to experience the intimate concert a few months before the new album Save Rock And Roll is even released. The band also announced last week that they were pushing the album forward a month. The release date is now being released on April 15th. The statement from their official website reads,
'So when we got this all rolling we didn't expect it to be so crazy. But we weren't kidding when we said we had the album done – so why wait? It means the world to us the way you have welcomed us back.’’
So with five albums under their belt and new hit single ‘My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark,’ lets expect big things on the horizon.
