Fall Out Boy and the Honda Civic Tour in Phoenix 4/27/07

City: Phoenix, AZ -- Cricket Pavilion in Phoenix, Arizona is the scene as fans race to see the return engagement of Fall Out Boy , the alternative rock/pop-punk band from Chicago, April 27, 2007. Fall Out Boy again promises to transport you to a state of musical rapture when they take the stage to perform their unique punk-pop sound. Supporting bands: +44, The Academy Is, Paul Wall and Cobra Starship.

Over the past seven years the Honda Civic Tour has been the hottest ticket in town and this year is no exception. The Honda Civic Tour has hit the fast-lane with Chicago's Fall Out Boy - Patrick Stump (vocals/guitar), Pete Wentz (bass), Joe Trohman (guitar), and Andy Hurley (drums) - unpredictable, super-charged, stage show, guaranteed to bring both loyal and new fans to their feet. Supporting Fall Out Boy will be Plus Forty Four (+44), the band created by former blink-182 members Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus, also past Honda Civic Tour headliners. Joining the bands at each stop on the tour will be support acts The Academy Is, Paul Wall and Cobra Starship.

???‚¬?“We designed our tour to have tickets as cheap as possible and have as much floor space as possible which we weren???‚¬?„?t able to do that in the past. With our partnership with Honda we???‚¬?„?ve been able to create something that???‚¬?„?s cool, and stay really tight with our fan base,???‚¬ said Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. As part of the partnership, Fall Out Boy created and designed special custom features for a Honda Civic Hybrid which will be displayed on tour with the band and showcased at each venue.

Throughout the tour, fans will have the opportunity to enter to win this customized, one-of-a-kind car which has been autographed by the band making it the ultimate moveable memorabilia. The vehicle was unveiled during the announcement and special performance that took place for selected Honda associates at their Torrance, CA campus earlier this month. Pete adds, ???‚¬?“I think one of the coolest things on the Honda Civic Tour is that we created these customized cars, and to be able to give away a customized Honda Civic Hybrid to our fans is really insanely huge ???‚¬???if we had been able to get that from a band, I think we would have freaked out.???‚¬
