Legendary 2000s rockers Fall Out Boy held a surprise concert at Koreatown Plaza on Tuesday night, transforming the shopping center into “Twilight Town Mall” for the gig.

Graffiti adorned the walls and VHS nostalgia tapes played as fans streamed into the space to cheer on the pop-punk outfit, who played hits like “Centuries” and “Sugar, We’re Goin Down.”

The band performed the surprise show to help promote its 2027 Twilight of the Punks World Tour.

“@falloutboy just stormed an LA mall with a surprise live show and turned retro storefronts into one massive pop-punk moment,” Live Nation wrote on X.

“Now, they’re rallying the punk scene for a massive global stadium tour alongside The Offspring, A Day to Remember, Good Charlotte, The Story So Far, and Neck Deep. Get ready to scream. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Nov. 12.”

Fans received a text notification about the show just a few hours before doors opened. Space inside the mall was extremely limited, and not all fans who RSVP’d made it in.

Tickets went on sale for the 2027 tour, set to kick off in Arlington, Texas, on July 13, Wednesday morning. Other tour stops include an Aug. 21 date at LA’s Dodger Stadium.

Fall Out Boy co-founder Pete Wentz said the tour won’t be the band’s last.

“This is not a farewell tour,” he told Rolling Stone.

“I do always think that at some point it’s the last thing you make, and it should be important. [But] this is not it. This is not what I’m saying at all.… The more we go into our family life and whatnot, I do know that it’s been longer between the tours and longer between the albums, and I just think it’s because we want it all to feel important, and not just, ‘Oh, they tour every three years and put out a throwaway thing.’”
