Earlier this year thousands of fans missed out on tickets to the first ever Fall Out Boy Australian tour. After their brief visit, with sold out shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, many would have been in no doubt that a long wait lay ahead before they’d again get a chance to see their heroes in the flesh. Well, those fans have another thing coming – Fall Out Boy will be back in Australia this September as part of their “Friends or Enemies” World Tour.
In Australia Fall Out Boy’s steep ascent may have only hit the mainstream radar in recent months, but their major label debut Under The Cork Tree topped 3 million sales in the US – delivering a string of awards including MTV VMAs, a Grammy nomination for best new artist and appearances on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, and CBS’s The Late Show with David Letterman.
It’s certainly payback time for Fall Out Boy’s Australian fans. The band will be joined by local force Gyroscope who are now putting the finishing touches on their new album, and Californian outfit Jack’s Mannequin , featuring Andrew McMahon from the much loved band Something Corporate .
