Fall Out Boy announce autumn arena dates

Emo-pop act Fall Out Boy have announced three UK arena shows - including visits to Birmingham and London - to take place this autumn.

The US group - who have just released a cover of Michael Jackson's classic hit Beat It as a download - will perform at Birmingham's NEC Arena on October 19th, with a show at Wembley Arena in London scheduled for three days later.

Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump and the boys will also visit Glasgow on October 21st. Tickets for the three shows go on sale this Friday (July 18th).

Meanwhile, Wirral-based indie band The Rascals have announced they will play a one-off show in London this autumn.

After touring with Alex Turner as The Last Shadow Puppets, Miles Kane and the gang will play London's Scala venue on Tuesday September 30th.

The Rascals released their full debut album Rascalize last month to widespread critical acclaim.
