The band ultimately had to pull out of two shows during The Hella Megga Tour, including the one are Fenway Park, after one of their crew members tested positive for Covid-19.
“Out of an abundance of caution, Fall Out Boy will not perform at the New York and Boston shows of the Hella Mega Tour due to an individual on the band’s team testing positive for COVID,” the tour’s page posted.
“Green Day, Weezer and the Interrupters will perform as scheduled.”
The post went on to note that all the members of the tour, including the band members and their staff, have been fully vaccinated for Covid-19 prior to their departure.
“The tour also has a COVID safety protocol officer on staff full-time that is ensuring everyone is closely following all CDC guidelines,” the post continued.
As of right now, FOB has only pulled out of the two shows and will continue to the remaining 22 shows.
