NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) It's been over four years since
Fall Out Boy fell apart and embarked on an indefinite hiatus.
Now the American pop punk band has reunited for a new album called Save Rock and Roll; and they've backed it up with a 31-city North American promotional tour.
The comeback album hits stores on May 6, while the tour opens at the Rave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 14, 2013.
From there, concerts are scheduled in Chicago, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Niagara Falls, New York, and Philadelphia.
The trek continues with dates in Charlotte, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami Beach, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Oakland, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City, St. Paul, St. Louis, and Indianapolis. The wrap is currently set for June 30, 2013 in Nashville, Tennessee.
"Although most of the venues are already officially sold out according to the band's website, we still have a great inventory of tickets for fans to choose from - along with a worry-free guarantee to protect their purchase," said Martinez.
Formed in 2001,
Fall Out Boy is an American pop punk band from Wilmette, Illinois. The group rose up out of the underground music scene in 2005 with their first major album called From Under the Cork Tree. The work won several awards and went double platinum after selling more than 2.7 million units in the U.S.. It also spun out two top ten singles called "
Sugar, We're Goin Down" and "
Dance, Dance".
Two years later, the punkers released their third album
Infinity on High, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and sold 260,000 copies in its first week. But after their fourth album, the evolutionary Folie à Deux in 2008, the band announced an extended break; and several of the members went on to pursue solo gigs. Despite their abbreviated career,

Four years went by. Then on February 4, 2013, the group unexpectedly announced their new album, Save Rock and Roll, as well as a tour and new single. The band went on Twitter to announce the news and post a picture of themselves throwing old
Fall Out Boy albums into a bonfire in Chicago.
Their new single, "My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light `Em Up)", is off the new album, which just happens to drop on the 10th anniversary of their first full-length studio album, Take This to Your Grave. (Huffington Post, 02/04/2013)
