Emo fans, rejoice! Fall Out Boy are returning to the UK in early 2014 to finally play a full string of UK dates that include Wembley Arena. 

They've teased fans with playing tiny, intimate venues in London that sell out before you can make a piece of toast, causing heartache amongst many. But the US rockers are bringing their Save Rock & Roll tour to the UK in March next year to cause havok and mayhem amongst the British public. Judging by the stories of their previous tours, things are about to get a whole lot more immature. 

So what shennanigans and surprises will the tour offer to fans?

New Music: Fall Out Boy have recently announced a mini-album that they worked on with Ryan Adams, titled Pax AM Days and revealed a video for the song 'Love, Sex, Death'. So there is no doubt that tracks from the mini-album will make their way into the setlist, and by March there may even be a taster of what's to come from their next full-length record. Things are about to get a whole lot louder. 

Pranks, lots and lots of pranks: Everyone knows how childish Fall Out Boy are at heart and how much they love to play pranks on their fellow tour buddies, fans and interviewers. Whether it will be doing their utmost to ruin the support acts performances or just freaking us the hell out, SOMETHING will happen and it WILL be utterly ridiculous.



Guest appearances:
 Foxes joined them on stage at Reading so it's possible, maybe Courtney Love will tag along (let's hope not). MAYBE Pete Wentz's son will come out and do some crazy guitar solo...

...maybe not

Pete Wentz acrobatics: Spinning around, leaping off amps, climbing things, licking guitars, it's likely that the FOB bassist will just go a bit wild and do some crazy flips and shit beause that's what you do at a rock show. 

Covers: They're most renowned for taking on Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' and in their US Save Rock & Roll tour they put their own twist on the smash hit 'Get Lucky'. We're taking bets on what they might cover this time around, Miley Cyrus, One Direction and Kanye West are top choices. 

 

One hell of show: Fall Out Boy never disappoint with their live performances, and with these tour dates being some of their biggest yet they'll certainly pull out the big guns in terms of production and setlist. Even the oldest of FOB fans will be spotted near the back losing their minds (and their beer) to 'Dance Dance'.
