Fall Out Boy, The Offspring, Good Charlotte, and The Story So Far are bringing Twilight of the Punks to New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania next summer. Your teenage soundtrack just got a stadium upgrade.
At some point, the bands that made you feel like an outsider started booking baseball stadiums.
Nobody really warned us about that part of getting older.
Fall Out Boy have announced their massive Twilight of the Punks Tour, bringing along The Offspring, Good Charlotte, and The Story So Far for a 21-date North American run in the summer of 2027.
That’s a whole lot of pop-punk history sharing one bill. And, judging by the venues, apparently we’re all doing pretty well for ourselves these days.
The lineup reads like somebody emptied a 1990s CD wallet into a 2000s iPod and then discovered a few more bands along the way.
You’ve got The Offspring, whose Smash helped introduce an entire generation to punk rock. Good Charlotte, who practically lived on MTV during the early 2000s. Fall Out Boy, who helped define the next wave of the genre. And The Story So Far, representing a newer generation that kept the sound moving forward.
Sure, there’s nostalgia here. A ridiculous amount of it.
But there’s also something pretty satisfying about seeing these bands commanding stadium-sized audiences decades after some of them were soundtracking teenage bedrooms, skate parks, and questionable fashion decisions.
THREE SHOWS. FOUR DAYS. ONE VERY EXPENSIVE SUMMER.
For those of us in the New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania area, there are three particularly convenient opportunities to relive our youth.
Sunday, August 1, 2027
Citi Field — Queens, New York
Tuesday, August 3, 2027
Atlantic City Beach — Atlantic City, New Jersey
Wednesday, August 4, 2027
Hersheypark Stadium — Hershey, Pennsylvania
Three chances to catch the same stacked lineup in just four days.
The Atlantic City show is particularly interesting. A massive pop-punk bill on the beach in August? That’s practically begging for sunburn, overpriced beer, and several thousand people collectively forgetting they’re no longer 19.
Meanwhile, Citi Field continues its transformation into a destination for people whose musical tastes were permanently shaped by the early 2000s.
And Hershey gives Pennsylvania fans another shot without needing to cross into New Jersey or New York.
THE NOSTALGIA IS REAL. SO IS THE NEW MUSIC.
Fall Out Boy aren’t relying entirely on the past, either.
Alongside the tour announcement, the band released “ACES,” their first new original single in more than three years.
The release arrives as the band celebrates 25 years together, a milestone that feels mildly offensive to anyone who still thinks From Under the Cork Tree came out a few years ago.
Twenty-five years.
Let that sink in.
While plenty of these songs have become staples of the genre, the addition of The Story So Far also keeps this from feeling like a traveling greatest-hits package aimed exclusively at people with lower-back problems.
There’s a genuine connection between generations of punk and pop-punk here, and that’s arguably more interesting than the nostalgia alone.
