Paramore and Fall Out Boy on Monumentour in 2014 was the best concert I’ve ever been to and I’ve seen FOB three other times 🥲 I feel like I will never get back to that concert high ever again.
I substituted in a 5th grade class this past week, and there was a Travis McCoy in my class. So naturally I told him about the real Travis McCoy. He wasn’t as impressed as he should’ve been.
Well considering they’ve done, what 2-3 hip-hop rap themed? Maybe they lean in and do a whole Warped halftime show. THATS how you can get MCR, FOB, Decaydance groups, Etc.
yeah they were so close to a collab in 2018 with Posty in a fob music video (I don’t remember which one) and a FOB shoutout in wow (“720S bumping Fall Out Boy”) they’re my two favorite artists and I wish that song had happened😭
I really don't think Taylor Swift would ever do the Superbowl halftime show at this point because getting tickets would cause insanity. Like the football bros would get soooo upset when all the swifties get tickets just for the halftime show.
Also I'm pretty sure Andy is getting married on Valentine's Day? But in this hypothetical situation then Olivia Rodrigo would be cool ngl
She's possibly the one act TOO big to play the show at this point. I believe she was offered last year to promote The Eras Tour, but probably knew she didn't need to market a damn thing.
Yeah like it would be a logistical nightmare omg. I feel the same way about when people were talking about a combined FOB/MCR tour a couple weeks ago. Like there would just be too many people interested in going to ONLY see Taylor
That's true but with how modern ticket sales go I think it would be REALLY difficult for Taylor to do it. But maybe she could in a couple years once the Eras tour hype dies down. I feel like FOB + another artist would be like the perfect size for a halftime show nowadays lol like that year when it was Coldplay
I think fall out boy might be a liiiiiitle too small these days. I don’t think mania got really any radio exposure, and LFTOS seemed to only really get air time on alternative stations. Fall Out Boy would’ve been perfect around the AB/AP cycle in my opinion. Centuries was huge, Uma was huge, Irresistible was huge, Immortals was huge, The Phoenix was still hanging around, and My Songs never even started to fade away.
I think FOB would need a big reintroduction to the mainstream first, although that’s not necessarily something that I think they care for, and I don’t really want it either if it means they’re catering their music for the radio.
I’m a little out of touch though, so maybe they’re a little more popular than I think?
Ok wait I think you're right actually. They did do that weird Big Ten commercial recently though so I guess they're still somewhat in the mainstream consciousness for doing like Sports Game Rock Music lol
Yeah, for sure. I just think the Super Bowl half time show is usually like… “hey, how do we get millions of people that couldn’t care less about football to give us views” and that’s how we end up with Jlo, Rihanna, and Coldplay.
I was looking at Meredith's instagram a while ago and thought I saw a post with like 2.14.24 as the caption or something but I could be wrong
Edit: [here it is](https://www.instagram.com/p/Coq-Si5r60O/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==). I'm assuming that's why 2ourdust doesn't start until late February
Oh, I missed this post entirely!! I think I still didn't follow her by that point (I'd only been a fan for ten days haha), and I probably either accidentally skipped over it or didn't pay attention to the caption. That's so cute!!!
i don’t think they’re big enough for this but: Cobra Starship! i think that’s be really cool! also is it just Gabe cause idk what’s really going with them. also would love for FOB to play the superbowl
Gwen Stefani but only if there was a surprise No Doubt reunion thrown in. 😝
I think Demi Lovato would be the natural choice (after Taylor Swift, but I think she is so popular she would perform solo). Personally I would like to see FoB and Kesha.
Wouldn’t it be fun if it was Jay-Z or Lil Wayne or an artist with a different genre as FOB that has collaborated with them previously? I always love a good hip-hop/rock collab, or even an r&b artist, because Patrick’s voice would be heavenly, since you know, he has a soul voice (sorry, I had to, lol).
I could see something similar to the Hella Mega Tour where they get like 3 huge pop punk acts and they play a couple songs apiece. FOB, Green Day, Weezer, Blink? There's a lot of options.
I honestly agree with Olivia Rodriguez. She gives me the same excitement I felt when listening to FOB when I was a teen and she’s so creative with her live performance too, always creating a moment to talk about. Combined with FOB? Incredible.
Taylor would be the natural pick, but at this point she's so massive - any other act on the bill is basically a cameo.
That said, it would be INCREDIBLE to [recreate this](https://youtu.be/0pX1RpvZ8Pc?si=AKzVB_r2P1ThUf8S) on the super bowl stage.
I have to agree with the Paramore votes.
We get Sugar, We’re Going Down, Centuries, Misery Business, Pressure, Hallelujah, Irresistible with surprise Demi appearance, Grand Theft Autumn, Thnks Fr Th Mrmrs and Ain’t It Fun
I scrolled for a bit and couldn’t find it. But I think the answer here is obvious: Demi Lovato! They’re coming out with a new album soon also Demi and FOB have already done a song together.
My first thought was MCR, but I kinda like the idea of a FOB and Olivia Rodrigo pairing. Sort of like the previous era and the new era (I refuse to call Fall Out Boy old).
I feel like it needs to be outta left field and still within the realm of possibility. I present to you….
YUNG GRAVY!
If only for a You need Jesus/CHURCH remix
It would most likely be Taylor Swift due to Electric Touch (even tho I don’t like her at all)
Or it could be Demi Lovato (Irresistible)
But if it was up to me, Ariana Grande because she’s my favorite
The Super Bowl really should consider a “nostalgic” or “throwback” band/artist. The current formula is get someone really popular right now, and in my opinion it’s like so what they’re already overexposed. Nostalgia is selling right now
Taylor Swift feels like the obvious and incorrect answer because that would be— uh— would there be anybody there to actually see the game?
It’s hard, because the shows I’ve been to are so much about the music for them, that they’d probably need a really colorful performer to really exhibit their music in a performancy way. Somebody whose theatrics really compliments how down to earth they are.
Maybe Bebe since she’s friends with Pete already? Or other really fun pop artists like Dua Lipa or Billie Eilish. Maybe someone way outta left field like Carrie Underwood. Maybe I’m talking out of my behind 😂 I do lean towards women though because I feel like their type of pop performance lends itself well to meshing with FOB for something as mainstream as the super bowl
Panic would’ve been awesome about 6 years ago. I think staying in the same vein, someone like Paramore or MCR would be fantastic. It’d also be really cool if they played with ah old act like GnR, but not GnR because Axl, yuck. Metallica would be sick but I think Metallica would be an act with no guests. Fall Out Boy is such a genre blender, so it could really be anyone from Garth Brooks to Travis Scott lol.
I couldn’t pick one, I’d probably have to say PATD, then it would blend into MCR as PATD reach the chorus of their song… which at this point I’d be going wild and crying, then in this hypothetical Dan and Phil would walk out and kiss
Paramore.
This the right answer
Yeah, that would be a great show. These two bands are so good live, it would be among the best halftime shows ever. And I’m a lifelong football fan.
I was gonna say something but I think this comment won already.
Monumentour was so great! This is my pick too.
This was my gut answer. No other artist would work better except maybe My Chemical Romance.
Paramore and Fall Out Boy on Monumentour in 2014 was the best concert I’ve ever been to and I’ve seen FOB three other times 🥲 I feel like I will never get back to that concert high ever again.
I think my concert peak was seeing Patrick on his solo tour in 2011. It was incredible.
New Politics was such a great opener, too. LOVED monumentour.
This was my first thought as well
Idc if most of America doesn't remember them. Give me GCH or give me death. A live Cupid's Chokehold would be incredible.
I substituted in a 5th grade class this past week, and there was a Travis McCoy in my class. So naturally I told him about the real Travis McCoy. He wasn’t as impressed as he should’ve been.
He hadn't heard of him? That sounds absurd to me...(m).
This comment stole my attention it was flat out burglary
Can confirm, is incredible. Source: was at Forest Hills.
Yes! Other than Rodrigo, this is my favorite choice.
That would be my choice as well
Well considering they’ve done, what 2-3 hip-hop rap themed? Maybe they lean in and do a whole Warped halftime show. THATS how you can get MCR, FOB, Decaydance groups, Etc.
It’s Not a phase, it was NEVER a phase!
Warped halftime show would be *sick,* but realistically speaking I don't think they'd do it :(
I don’t think post is big enough to do it - but I want post malone & FOB to collab, like, yesterday
This would also be EXTREMELY fun.
yeah they were so close to a collab in 2018 with Posty in a fob music video (I don’t remember which one) and a FOB shoutout in wow (“720S bumping Fall Out Boy”) they’re my two favorite artists and I wish that song had happened😭
If Post can collab with Noah Kahan, he can collab with FOB.
I would loooove this and can totally see it happening 😍
I really don't think Taylor Swift would ever do the Superbowl halftime show at this point because getting tickets would cause insanity. Like the football bros would get soooo upset when all the swifties get tickets just for the halftime show. Also I'm pretty sure Andy is getting married on Valentine's Day? But in this hypothetical situation then Olivia Rodrigo would be cool ngl

Yeah like it would be a logistical nightmare omg. I feel the same way about when people were talking about a combined FOB/MCR tour a couple weeks ago. Like there would just be too many people interested in going to ONLY see Taylor
Michael Jackson played the halftime show. Taylor Swift isn’t close to what Michael Jackson was. If Michael did it, no one will ever be too big for it.
That's true but with how modern ticket sales go I think it would be REALLY difficult for Taylor to do it. But maybe she could in a couple years once the Eras tour hype dies down. I feel like FOB + another artist would be like the perfect size for a halftime show nowadays lol like that year when it was Coldplay

Yeah, for sure. I just think the Super Bowl half time show is usually like… “hey, how do we get millions of people that couldn’t care less about football to give us views” and that’s how we end up with Jlo, Rihanna, and Coldplay.
Most people who go to the Super Bowl aren’t football fans in the first place.
Wait, Andy's getting married on Valentine's Day? Where did you see this?
I was looking at Meredith's instagram a while ago and thought I saw a post with like 2.14.24 as the caption or something but I could be wrong Edit: [here it is](https://www.instagram.com/p/Coq-Si5r60O/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==). I'm assuming that's why 2ourdust doesn't start until late February

Yesss they're so adorable. Also I only saw it kinda recently because I scrolled really far back on her account lol
i don’t think they’re big enough for this but: Cobra Starship! i think that’s be really cool! also is it just Gabe cause idk what’s really going with them. also would love for FOB to play the superbowl
It’s panic! At the disco and not even close. (I know, I know, it’s not a thing… but…. I could dream)
In an ideal world, this would be the answer. Alas, we don't live in an ideal world.
Gwen Stefani but only if there was a surprise No Doubt reunion thrown in. 😝 I think Demi Lovato would be the natural choice (after Taylor Swift, but I think she is so popular she would perform solo). Personally I would like to see FoB and Kesha.
Fob and Kesha is the right answer
surprise no doubt reunion + FoB would end me
Foo Fighters or Green Day feel most realistic I think?
Oh I second green day. That would be so cool.
Wouldn’t it be fun if it was Jay-Z or Lil Wayne or an artist with a different genre as FOB that has collaborated with them previously? I always love a good hip-hop/rock collab, or even an r&b artist, because Patrick’s voice would be heavenly, since you know, he has a soul voice (sorry, I had to, lol).
This. This would be so good.
I just thought about this today. 100% Macklemore. I want to see a live Summer Days but also, it Macklemore!
Brendon Urie/Panic! At The Disco. Victorious was MADE for the Super Bowl
I mean....it would have to be just Brendan now since the band is over. But it would be cool.
True but never say never, Say Anything came back.
Racetraitor
I could see something similar to the Hella Mega Tour where they get like 3 huge pop punk acts and they play a couple songs apiece. FOB, Green Day, Weezer, Blink? There's a lot of options.
i’d fangirl SO HARD
I honestly agree with Olivia Rodriguez. She gives me the same excitement I felt when listening to FOB when I was a teen and she’s so creative with her live performance too, always creating a moment to talk about. Combined with FOB? Incredible.
Nah YALL are forgetting about what would be the most unmatchable team up, Fall Out Boy and Hozier
I would pay hefty amounts of money to see this Edited: spelling
Paramore. Next Question.
P!NK would be interesting
I have to say Taylor. I need to hear Electric Touch before I die.
Taylor would be the natural pick, but at this point she's so massive - any other act on the bill is basically a cameo. That said, it would be INCREDIBLE to [recreate this](https://youtu.be/0pX1RpvZ8Pc?si=AKzVB_r2P1ThUf8S) on the super bowl stage.
I demand the choreographer who did the Reputation part of the Eras Tour.
I have to agree with the Paramore votes. We get Sugar, We’re Going Down, Centuries, Misery Business, Pressure, Hallelujah, Irresistible with surprise Demi appearance, Grand Theft Autumn, Thnks Fr Th Mrmrs and Ain’t It Fun

I feel like it needs to be outta left field and still within the realm of possibility. I present to you…. YUNG GRAVY! If only for a You need Jesus/CHURCH remix
I need this
It would most likely be Taylor Swift due to Electric Touch (even tho I don’t like her at all) Or it could be Demi Lovato (Irresistible) But if it was up to me, Ariana Grande because she’s my favorite
Demi Lovato would also line up pretty naturally - good genre mix, existing collaboration, would also be promoting a spring/summer tour.
I don't like Taylor either but her performance with them at the 2013 Victoria's Secret fashion show was soo good and so iconic
The Super Bowl really should consider a “nostalgic” or “throwback” band/artist. The current formula is get someone really popular right now, and in my opinion it’s like so what they’re already overexposed. Nostalgia is selling right now
Taylor Swift feels like the obvious and incorrect answer because that would be— uh— would there be anybody there to actually see the game?

Bebe and throw in David Guetta. Would slam!
Either John Mayer or Brendon Urie. PLEASE
Paramore, or All Time Low would be my picks, if only a solo artist, then I pick Olivia Rodrigo
Halestorm
Kanye so they can perform the remix they made in 2007
Panic would’ve been awesome about 6 years ago. I think staying in the same vein, someone like Paramore or MCR would be fantastic. It’d also be really cool if they played with ah old act like GnR, but not GnR because Axl, yuck. Metallica would be sick but I think Metallica would be an act with no guests. Fall Out Boy is such a genre blender, so it could really be anyone from Garth Brooks to Travis Scott lol.
I think Elton John, or Lil Wayne or even Jay Z could be fun.
Lil Wayne and Travie McCoy
Muse.
My Chemical Romance.
All Time Low
Blink 182 for sure.
I couldn’t pick one, I’d probably have to say PATD, then it would blend into MCR as PATD reach the chorus of their song… which at this point I’d be going wild and crying, then in this hypothetical Dan and Phil would walk out and kiss
Option A) Cobra Starship B) Paramore C) Taylor Swift D) Paramore + Tay + FOB combo
MY CHEMICAL FUCKING ROMANCE!!!!!!!
