After teasing live shows earlier this week, Fall Out Boy have announced they're bringing their new headline tour, So Much For (Tour) Dust, to the UK this October and November.

Part of a larger 15-date European trek throughout the autumn, Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz and Andy Hurley kick off the UK leg at Leeds First Direct Arena on Friday 27th October 2023.

The tour then visits Glasgow OVO Hydro (28th Oct), Manchester AO Arena (29th Oct) and Birmingham Utilita Arena (31st Oct) before concluding at London The O2 on Thursday 2nd November 2023.

Fall Out Boy have also revealed the incredible support acts at all five UK dates - PVRIS and nothing,nowhere.

The five arena shows are Fall Out Boy’s first standalone headline UK tour dates since The M A N I A Tour in March 2018. The band visited these shores last summer as part of The Hella Mega Tour with Green Day and Weezer.

Fall Out Boy UK tour tickets:

Tickets to Fall Out Boy’s five UK shows will be high in demand when they go on sale from Kerrang! Radio Tickets at 10am on Friday 10th February.
