Iconic modern rock band Fall Out Boy heads to the Moody Center in Austin for the second part of their latest tour.
The Moody Center in Austin, Texas on March 8th, was a night to remember for Fall Out Boy fans. With this being Fall Out Boy’s second tour for their latest album, So Much (For) Stardust, they decided to stop at many venues they couldn’t during the first part of their tour back in 2023. They also decided to keep most of the same set list with a few minor adjustments. One thing they did bring back was two surprise songs that were different for every show on the tour.
In Austin that night, lead singer, Patrick Stump, played “It’s Not a Side Effect of the Cocaine, I Am Thinking It Must Be Love” from their 2004 EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue. Alongside this acoustic deep cut was a piano version of “What A Catch, Donnie” and “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen. Another big surprise for the night was the infamous Magic 8 Ball Song – where lead guitarist, Pete Wentz, asks a Magic 8 Ball on the top of the stage set what song they should perform, along with a couple of other questions before that. The Magic 8 Ball Song in Austin that night was “Don’t You Know Who I Think I Am?” from their 2006 album, Infinity On High.
For Fall Out Boy’s So Much for (2our) Dust Tour, they invited many great artists to join them on their tour. At their Austin show, Daisy Grenade, The Maine, and Jimmy Eat World opened up the night and were able to play their fan favorites as there were fans for every band that performed that night. For other parts of their tour, Fall Out Boy is also bringing along Hot Mulligan, Games We Play, and Carr. Arizona alternative rock band, Jimmy Eat World has been and will be their main headliner for the entire tour and fans are excited to see such a great band that has been around for over 30 years.
Even though Fall Out Boy released their latest album and is dedicating their tour to it, the band decided to treat the tour as a look back through their entire discography in hopes of engaging both newer fans and those who have been around and stayed listening since their first album. Fall Out Boy did an outstanding job with the setlist and there was never a dull moment, whether it was an iconic Fall Out Boy song being performed or using pyrotechnics and fireworks to keep the crowd going, they nailed it. With their final song of the night, “Saturday,” off of their 2003 hit album, Take This to Your Grave, fans were sad to see the night end and enjoyed singing to the top of their lungs as black and white confetti filled the Moody Center that night.
