Frontman Oliver Sykes commanded the stage as they opened their set with the powerful single “AmEN!” from their upcoming release, “Post Human: NeX GEn”. The band’s performance was a rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from the intense energy of “Happy Song” to the heartfelt melodies of “Can You Feel My Heart”. The explosive finale of their top hit “Throne” left the crowd in awe.

As the headliners of the night, Fall Out Boy proved why they have remained a force in the music industry.

Supporting their latest album, So Much For (Star) Dust, the band ignited the stage with an explosive performance of their hit single “The Pink Seashell”. The addition of actual flamethrowers and bassist Pete Wentz shooting flames from his guitar created an unparalleled visual spectacle. From nostalgic hits like “Sugar We’re Going Down” to the energetic “Uma Thurman,” Fall Out Boy took fans on a journey through their extensive discography, showcasing every era of their career.

The So Much For (Tour) Dust Tour left no doubt that it is a must-see show of the summer.
