For last year’s Monumentour, Fall Out Boy teamed up with Paramore and brought pop-punk to amphitheaters across the country. Their new Boys of Zummer tour will hit many of the same venues, but the band’s approach is almost entirely different. singer Pete Wentz told Rolling Stone “We’re going to do a less standard rock & roll show, On Monumentour we did the ‘rock & roll band plays at night’ thing kind of as big as we planned on doing. It felt really cool, but if we did it again it would be rehashing the same thing and you can kind of get caught in that.”
Fall Out Boy have been able to remain headliners while their former peers have been consigned Warped Tour purgatory. The band formed outside Chicago in 2001 and eventually expanded their pop-punk sound to include hip-hop, arena rock and even a little EDM.
