Best of Budapest & Hungary

GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum rock band Fall Out Boy is gearing up for a massive 2027, announcing the Twilight of the Punks world tour - the biggest of their career - with 36 stadium and arena dates across Europe, the UK and North America. The announcement arrives alongside the band’s long-awaited return with brand-new song “ACES,” their first original single in more than three years. Budapest is among the tour stops, with the band set to play their first headliner Hungarian show at Budapest Arena on May 19.

    Promoted by Live Nation, the Twilight of the Punks Tour kicks off May 17 at Prague’s O2 Arena. The European and UK leg spans 15 cities, including Budapest, Milan, Madrid, Lyon, Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Glasgow, Dublin and Manchester. A Day To Remember and Neck Deep will join the tour as special guests across these shows.

Fans who register for the artist presale at twilightofthepunkstour.com will be the first to access tickets. Presale tickets will be available from 12 p.m. on November 11, while general tickets go on sale at 12 p.m. on November 12.

    This year also marks a major milestone as Fall Out Boy celebrates 25 years as a band and launches its eagerly anticipated next chapter with the release of “ACES.” Produced and mixed by the band’s longtime collaborator Neil Avron, the new track offers a taste of what is to come. It channels the raw energy, infectious hooks and unmistakable spirit of the band’s early years, offering a nostalgic nod to the sound that established Fall Out Boy as one of pop-punk’s most influential acts. Alongside the release, the band also unveiled the official Brendan Walter-directed music video.

    Just ahead of Halloween, Fall Out Boy began teasing fans, igniting widespread speculation and excitement around a major announcement. The mystery began with a cryptic Instagram post welcoming followers to the “Twilight Town Mall.” On arriving at the band’s website, fans found an interactive shopping-mall directory featuring an arcade, photo studio, food court and more. The meticulously crafted campaign quickly generated excitement among fans worldwide, with anticipation building further when the Two Quarters Arcade launched on the site. Created in partnership with Brooklyn creative agency LOOP, the virtual arcade featured a live, interactive claw machine that fans anywhere in the world could control remotely for a chance to win a Fall Out Boy alien plush. Within hours of launch, the activation generated nearly one million site visits and 6.1 million minutes of watch time; traffic was so heavy that it temporarily crashed the servers. As a thank-you for the overwhelming enthusiasm, the band is bringing the game back for a limited time today, giving fans another chance to play and win.

    In the 2000s, Fall Out Boy held a permanent place on every teenager’s MP3 player - just as their posters did on bedroom walls. The Chicago band - Patrick Stump (vocals/guitar), Pete Wentz (bass), Joe Trohman (guitar) and Andy Hurley (drums) - won over fans with hits including “Dance, Dance,” “Thnks fr th Mmrs,” “Uma Thurman” and “Centuries.” Still one of rock’s most in-demand bands, Fall Out Boy has topped charts, earned multiple platinum certifications, received GRAMMY nominations and collected numerous industry awards, while their tours consistently sell out. The band has performed in Hungary only once before, at Strand Festival, but now on May 19, they return to Budapest Arena as part of the Twilight of the Punks Tour.
