Fall Out Boy just put out their first new original single in more than three years, and the official video is the clip people are passing around today.
Video: Fall Out Boy, “ACES (Official Music Video),” via the band’s official YouTube channel.
The track arrived Monday, November 9, on Atlantic Records, with a video directed by Brendan Walter. The same day, the band announced the Twilight of the Punks Tour, a 36-date 2027 run across Europe, the U.K. and North America. The North American leg includes a hometown headline show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, the band’s first there, according to Billboard.
That combination is why the video took off so fast. By Tuesday, public YouTube trend trackers had the official clip at the top of the U.S. trending list. The rollout had already built a crowd: the band turned its website into a fictional “Twilight Town Mall,” complete with a real claw machine fans could operate online. Billboard, citing the band, said the tease drew close to a million site visits and briefly crashed their servers.
Pete Wentz told Rolling Stone the “Twilight” title is not a farewell tour. Patrick Stump said there is not currently a new album attached to the song. So the thing people have in hand right now is this: a new single, an official video, and a stadium-scale tour on the calendar.
Will you have “ACES” on repeat this week, or are you already circling those 2027 tour dates?
