wow three old dudes.

so the “believers never die (part deux)” tour has been announce. fob, all time low, cobra starship, metrostation and hey monday.

i am pretty excited for it. we are playing smaller rooms than usual… we kind of wanted the feel of the old BND tour. rob dobi is doing the art again. also, we will be bringing out some of our older merch that we put into retirement but we are going to update them (not in giant neon letters) just a new take.

the response to the tour announcement has been positive for the most part. but i would like to say to those who are hating… this is fall out boy paying it forward. the first time alot of people heard about fob was from when allister, punchline, blink182, or less than jake took us on tour. i am sure alot of their fans had a similiar reaction to the new band. but honestly all of those bands had our backs and i think it gave us the chance to try and win over some new fans. in this case i have seen these bands live or had conversations with all of them. they are hungry. they are positive kids and who knows one or all of them will end up in the same spot in a couple of years. i really appreciate the chance to take them out- play to some of their fans and let them play to some of ours. the thing i have always appreciated about fall out boy fans is how you guys have been to bands we have brought on tour from gym class heroes to having keith from ETID sing “walk” with us. we appreciate that tolerance.

besides, this looks as if it will be the last fob tour in the u.s. for awhile. i hope to make it a fun one. if we havent announced a show by you- wed like to stop in. hit up your station request “america’s suitehearts” or just bombard your local promoter. these rooms are about as big or small as we want to go on this tour. get your tickets early because the smaller ones should be gone fast.
