The band took to the stage with a bang and a flash of blue lights that sent the crowd into a frenzy before they had even played their first song. Despite a minor technical difficulty at the beginning, the band kept their cool and carried on like the professionals they are.

Pete Wentz amazed fans when his bass doubled up as a flame thrower and fire flashed across the stage as they performed huge track ‘The Phoenix’.

Lead singer Patrick Stump sounded even better live, with gold fireworks exploding behind the stage as ‘Irresistible’ played.

Classic track ‘Sugar, We’re Going Down’ had the crowd singing their hearts out, filled with nostalgia and happiness.

The set went from strength to strength with the perfect mix of special effects, new and old tunes, and impeccable live sound. (And even more fireworks thrown in for good measure.)

Fans loved songs like ‘Uma Thurman’ and ‘The Last of the Real Ones’ almost as much as they loved the psychedelic graphics and Pete’s inspiring words about the power of love.

’Save Rock and Roll’ had fans chanting and swaying, with Pete then inviting a mosh pit for one of their biggest songs ‘Dance, Dance’.

The band ended the set with ‘Centuries’ (and you guessed it, more fireworks) and it was easy to see why such an incredible band were the headliners.

Oh wait… that wasn’t the end! The band came back on stage for a selfie and famous tune ‘My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark’ … amazing!
