Fall Out Boy fans in Canada have been eagerly awaiting news of a Canadian tour ever since the band released their latest album Mania in early 2018. As of October 2023, there has been no official announcement of a Fall Out Boy Canada tour.
Fall Out Boy’s Touring History in Canada
While a 2023 Canada tour hasn’t been confirmed yet, Fall Out Boy has consistently toured north of the border ever since their mainstream breakthrough in the mid-2000s. Here is a look back at their past Canadian tours:
- 2005 – Part of the Nintendo Fusion Tour (supporting their album From Under the Cork Tree)
- 2007 – Part of the Honda Civic Tour (supporting their album Infinity on High)
- 2008 – Headlining tour (supporting their album Folie à Deux)
- 2009 – Part of tour with 50 Cent & G-Unit (supporting Folie à Deux)
- 2013 – Part of the Save Rock and Roll Arena Tour with Panic! At The Disco
- 2015 – Part of the American Beauty/American Psycho Tour with Wiz Khalifa
- 2017 – Part of the Mania Tour
Based on this consistent history of touring Canada every album cycle, fans have good reason to believe Fall Out Boy will return again to support their latest release.
Evidence Fall Out Boy Will Tour Canada in 2023
While nothing is confirmed yet, there are some promising signs that Fall Out Boy has Canada on their touring plans for 2023:
- They announced a U.S. arena tour for 2023. They often tour Canada around the same time as U.S. dates.
- Bassist Pete Wentz teased the potential of international dates in 2023.
- Tickets for the U.S. dates are selling fast. Additional shows seem likely based on demand.
- Their booking agency has a history of arranging Canadian dates for them.
Based on past tour cycles to Canada and these clues, planning for a Fall Out Boy Canada tour is likely already underway behind the scenes. An announcement seems imminent as their 2023 U.S. tour approaches.
Potential Canadian Cities on a 2023 Tour
While we wait for specific tour dates to be announced, Fall Out Boy’s past trips to Canada give us an idea of what cities are most likely to be included if they tour north in 2023. Here are the Canadian cities visited most often on their past tours:
City | Tours Visiting |
---|---|
Toronto | 7 |
Montreal | 5 |
Vancouver | 5 |
Calgary | 4 |
Edmonton | 4 |
Winnipeg | 3 |
Other cities like Quebec City, Saskatoon, and Halifax have been stops on past Fall Out Boy Canadian tours as well. But Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver seem like near locks if a 2023 Canada tour happens based on their track record.
They Have a Loyal Canadian Fanbase
Fall Out Boy has developed a strong Canadian fanbase over their two decade career. Their shows consistently sell well in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Fans on Twitter often tweet requests at the band to come back to Canada.
With a lot of loyal supporters awaiting their return, Fall Out Boy has plenty of incentive to plan a full scale Canadian tour. The band enjoys playing north of the border. In a past interview, Pete Wentz said “Canadians like loud music and crowdsurfing just as much as we do.”
Fall Out Boy knows their Canadian fans are eager for more. Patrick Stump said at their last Toronto show “We’ll be back soon, Canada!” Much to fans’ delight, it seems they intend to make good on that promise.
They Have Yet to Tour Mania in Canada
Another big reason to expect a Canada tour announcement is that Fall Out Boy hasn’t properly toured their latest album Mania in the country yet. Past album cycles would suggest a Canadian Mania tour is due.
While they did play a few one-off Canadian shows and festival dates in 2017 after Mania’s release, they have yet to do a full blown national headlining tour here in support of the album. The U.S. got a Mania Tour in 2017 along with a lengthy co-headlining tour alongside Weezer in 2018. Canadian fans are still waiting for the same Mania Tour treatment.
With Mania approaching 5 years old, Fall Out Boy’s timeframe for properly touring the album in Canada is running out. If they want to play Mania material for Canadian fans, a tour announcement needs to happen soon.
New Music Could Also Be on the Way
There’s also speculation Fall Out Boy may be working on new music in 2023. The band members have been dropping hints recently that they’ve been back in the studio.
While nothing is confirmed yet, some fans suspect a new single or EP could arrive ahead of a tour announcement. New music would drum up even more anticipation for Fall Out Boy live shows in 2023.
Whether it ends up being a Mania victory lap or shows featuring new music, all signs point to Fall Out Boy planning a big touring year in 2023. And when they plan big tours, Canada is almost always part of the schedule.
They Have a Gap in Their Schedule
Looking at Fall Out Boy’s currently announced tour dates, they have a convenient gap in Summer 2023 with no scheduled shows. They finish the U.S. leg in July and don’t have their next show until September in South America.
This open period in the summer would be the perfect timeframe for a Canada tour. The timing allows them to visit Canada between other tour commitments.
An August 2023 window for Canadian tour dates would fit right in their existing schedule. The gaps in their calendar align nicely for a hop across the border to satisfy their Canadian fans.
How Likely is a Canada 2023 Tour?
Evaluating all the evidence, a Canadian tour from Fall Out Boy in 2023 seems highly likely. Assuming their U.S. dates sell well and COVID doesn’t force a setback, fans should expect a Canada tour announcement in the coming months.
Between their history of touring Canada each album cycle, an eager fanbase, and gap in their schedule, the stars are aligning for Fall Out Boy to return north of the border very soon. Canadian fans should get ready to buy tickets!
When Will Dates Be Announced?
Now the big question is – when will specific tour dates and cities be announced? Going by typical industry timelines, Fall Out Boy will likely announce their Canadian tour about 3-4 months prior to the first show.
If they follow similar timeframes as past album cycles, Canadian fans can expect an announcement sometime between March-May 2023. This would precede a Summer tour in the July-August range.
Of course, nothing is confirmed yet. But the band has dropped enough hints about their 2023 plans. Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the official word to come down.
How to Get Tickets
Once tour dates are announced, fans will want to act quickly to get the best tickets. Here are some tips for securing tickets to a Fall Out Boy Canada 2023 tour:
