Explained simply
Fall Out Boy are an American rock band formed in the Chicago area in 2001. They became widely known in the 2000s with songs such as “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Thnks fr th Mmrs”, and have continued recording and touring since then.
A world tour is a series of live shows in different countries, often with other bands performing before the main act. The supporting groups named for this run include A Day To Remember, Neck Deep, The Offspring, The Story So Far and Good Charlotte, all established rock bands with their own audiences.
Large stadium shows can bring together tens of thousands of fans and require substantial planning for performers, venues and local organisers. For Fall Out Boy, the tour’s reach across Europe and North America makes it a significant part of their live career.
