WHAT WENT DOWN
Fall Out Boy turned up unannounced at Koreatown Plaza, a shopping mall in Los Angeles, on Tuesday and opened with the first live performance of "ACES" *, †. The song had only been released the day before, and the crowd already out-sang Patrick Stump on it *.
THE DETAILS
- The pop-up hit Koreatown Plaza in L.A. on Tuesday, with onlookers watching from the second-floor balcony *, †.
- "ACES" arrived Monday as a teaser for the band's 2027 stadium run, Twilight of the Punks *.
- The set also included "Sugar, We're Goin Down" and "Saturday" *.
- Signage around the band promoted the tour dates *.
- The trek starts July 13 in Arlington, Texas, with The Offspring, Good Charlotte, and The Story So Far in North America *.
- A Day to Remember and Neck Deep play the European dates, which come first *.
- Pete Wentz has said, "This is not a farewell tour" *.
THE TAKE
A band this size playing a food court is a flex, and the crowd knowing a 24-hour-old song is the actual headline. Patrick Stump has said the band is not working on a new album *.
