Rock band Fall Out Boy surprised the audience at the Honda Centre in Anaheim, California, when they brought out Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda to perform “Dance Dance,” from their 2005 album “From Under The Cork Tree,” at iHeartRadio’s ALTer EGO festival. The band was announced as headliner of the festival just days before, following Paramore’s dropping out.
Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz spoke to NME about their upcoming performance at Download Festival 2024. “We want people to be able to excel in their weirdness. We want people to feel comfortable creating, knowing that others will embrace it,” he said.
In an interview, Wentz discussed how he hopes the audience walks away from a Fall Out Boy concert with the understanding that the band’s success wasn’t based on being told they would become pop stars. “We came from a little attic practice space in Chicago. We played countless shows that nobody came to. I really hope people walk away from a Fall Out Boy knowing that us playing an arena in their town means that they can do it too, whatever their version of the thing is,” he said.
Fall Out Boy was also announced to play When We Were Young 2024, with other bands such as My Chemical Romance and Jimmy Eat World, and tickets are available now
