Fall Out Boy performed at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion Tuesday, June 27th and put on a fantastic energetic show! When you think of a “rock show” you will most likely think of all the things Fall Out Boy incorporated throughout their entire performance; fireworks, massive smoke haze, bubbles, changing sets, inflatables, beach balls being thrown out, and fire! I don’t think they missed one element that historically makes up rock shows. Let’s take a look at the setlist, which includes songs from their latest album, “So Much (for) Stardust”, as well as beloved songs from their massive catalog (and even covers from legends like Journey, Ozzy Osbourne, and a-ha!).

1. Love From the Other Side
2. The Phoenix
3. Sugar, We're Goin Down
4. Uma Thurman
5. A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me"
6. Chicago Is So Two Years Ago
7. Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy
8. Calm Before the Storm
9. This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race
10. Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes
11. Heaven, Iowa
12. "The Take Over, the Breaks Over"
13. Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet
14. Fake Out
15. Somebody to Love / Take On Me / Don't Stop Believin' (Queen, a-ha, and Journey Cover / MashUp)
16. The Last of the Real Ones
17. Save Rock and Roll
18. Baby Annihilation
19. Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne cover)
20. Dance, Dance
21. Hold Me Like a Grudge
22. The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years)
23. My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)
24. Thnks fr th Mmrs
25. Centuries
26. Saturday

Six songs from “So Much (for) Stardust” were performed, out-performing any other album. However, as I Uber drove another concert patron home after the concert, she did comment how odd it was that they did not play the titular track from the album, “So Much (for) Stardust” or play more songs from that album on this tour. However, I was happy with the setlist choices; the newer songs did not overstay their welcome, as many fans sang along with numerous previous singles. Overall, Fall Out Boy designed a setlist with their core fans in mind. Favorites that the crowd responded well to are to no one’s surprise their top singles, such as “Sugar, We’re Going Down” (which had the whole audience belting the first verse), “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark…”, “Thnks fr the Mmrs”, and “Centuries”.

The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is a covered outdoor amphitheater and even at 9 PM, the Texas humidity was grueling. Nonetheless, the show was entertaining despite the natural weather conditions.
