From a press release:

Following the release of their new album, “Mania,” today, along with the music video for the single “Church,” multi-platinum-selling pop rock band Fall Out Boy announced that their Mania Tour with Machine Gun Kelly will stop at Hersheypark Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m.

Tickets, which are $30.60, $45.60, $55.60, and $74.60 (processing fees apply), go on sale next Friday, Jan. 26 at 10 a.m. and will be available at the Hersheypark Stadium box office (100 W. Hersheypark Dr., Hershey), online at hersheyentertainment.com and ticketmaster.com, and by phone at 717-534-3911 or 800-745-3000.

$1 from every ticket sold will go to the Fall Out Boy Fund, benefiting charities throughout their hometown of Chicago.

After months of anticipation, the Grammy-nominated quartet released their seventh studio album today on Island Records/DCD2 Records.

On Sept. 8, Fall Out Boy will return to their hometown for a special homecoming milestone – their first-ever headlining show at Chicago’s iconic Wrigley Field. The band previously performed at Wrigley as MLB’s first-ever live musical performance on opening night in April of 2015. Most recently, Fall Out Boy took over the seventh inning stretch and sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” on Sept. 16, 2017 when the Cubs hosted the St. Louis Cardinals, a game at which bassist Pete Wentz also had the honor of throwing the game’s ceremonial first pitch.

“I grew up going to games with my dad at Wrigley,” says Wentz. “This stadium contains so much magic from being a kid. … I can’t think of somewhere closer to me to come home and play a show at in Chicago.”

The band celebrated the album’s release this week with performances on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” last night and “Good Morning America” this morning, along with an appearance on MTV’s “TRL” on Wednesday. They will perform on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on Jan. 31.

The wristband policy will be in effect for this concert. Fans are permitted on the Hersheypark Entertainment Complex property beginning at 7 a.m. on Jan. 26. Two hours prior to the on-sale, fans will be directed in front of the Giant Center box office, where they will be issued a numbered wristband. Wristbands are available for one hour and, at the conclusion of that hour, a selected fan will randomly choose a wristband that will determine the line order. Once the line is in place, fans arriving after the wristbands were issued will be escorted to the end of the numbered line.
