Get ready to dance, dance — Fall Out Boy is embarking on a massive summer tour!

On Tuesday, the Grammy-nominated band announced a lengthy run of North American concerts titled So Much For (Tour) Dust, and they'll be joined on the road by fellow rockers Bring Me the Horizon, Royal & the Serpent, The Academy Is... and more.

"WAKE UP, we're going on tour," wrote the band on Instagram alongside an announcement video featuring bassist Pete Wentz getting woken up from a dream by lead singer Patrick Stump.

Kicking off with a stadium show at Wrigley Field in Chicago on June 21, the tour will make stops in cities including Dallas, Los Angeles, New York and Boston before wrapping on Aug. 6 at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey.

Presale tickets become available for select fans on Thursday at 10 a.m. local time before the general sale opens on Friday at 10 a.m. local time. Information regarding tickets is available on the band's website.

The tour is going down in support of Fall Out Boy's upcoming album So Much (For) Stardust, which is set for a March 24 release, and marks the band's first string of concerts since 2021's Hella Mega Tour with Green Day and Weezer.

Joining the band for the run is Bring Me the Horizon on most dates, with Alkaline Trio, New Found Glory, Four Years Strong, The Academy Is…, Royal & the Serpent, Games We Play, Daisy Grenade and Carr each performing at select shows.

Additionally, So Much For (Tour) Dust will be Fall Out Boy's first tour since its co-founder and longtime guitarist Joe Trohman told fans he would be taking a break from the group earlier this month.

"Neil Young once howled that it's better to burn out than to fade away," Trohman began in a statement shared on the group's official Twitter page hours before the announcement of So Much (For) Stardust. "But I can tell you unequivocally that burning out is dreadful."

He added, "Without divulging all the details, I must disclose that my mental health has rapidly deteriorated over the past several years. So, to avoid fading away and never returning, I will be taking a break from work which regrettably includes stepping away from Fall Out Boy for a spell."

Referencing So Much (For) Stardust, Trohman said in the statement, "It pains me to make this decision, especially when we are releasing a new album that fills me with great pride (the sin I'm most proud of)."

He then reassured fans that his departure is temporary and that he will be back.

"So, the question remains: Will I return to the fold? Absolutely, one-hundred percent. In the meantime, I must recover which means putting myself and my mental health first. Thank you to everyone including my bandmates and family, for understanding and respecting this difficult, but necessary, decision."
