UPDATE: Fall Out Boy have now announced a set of 2018 Australian tour dates.
ORIGINAL STORY: Hold onto your butts, Fall Out Boy fans, because it looks like the band are preparing to make a big announcement for their Aussie fans, which may or may not involve a new tour down under.
Taking to socials this morning, Patrick Stump and company told fans, “Australia + New Zealand… you might want to check back here tomorrow,” and also shared an image of a ticking clock.

The band’s teaser comes after a number of fans spotted what appeared to be links to an upcoming Fall Out Boy show in Brisbane last week, which allegedly appeared on the Ticketmaster website before being removed shortly after.
Ticketmaster is yet to respond to Music Feeds‘ request for comment about the alleged show leak.

If the leak is legit — which it appears to be — we can expect to see Fall Out Boy down under in February 2018. Stay tuned to Music Feeds for all the latest on what the band are preparing to announce.
Fall Out Boy are preparing to release their latest album Mania this September. The band previously toured Australia as part of the 2015 Soundwave Festival, as well as on a headline tour in 2013.
