Fall Out Boy To Set Worthless Record

Ahh publicity stunts. This one kind of comes as a shocker, considering these guys are pretty much on the top of their commercial gain to begin with.

Our favorite trend setters Fall Out Boy are making an attempt to break the most worthless world record ever; playing a show in all 7 continents in a span of under 9 months. The big question on everyone’s mind is, of course, how well the Antarctica show is going to do. Do polar bears rock swooped bangs and scene jeans? I digress…

Fall Out Boy To Play Antarctica/March 23 Venue Change

Fall Out Boy will be attempting to set a Guinness World Record for the first band to play all seven continents in a time frame under nine months. The band kicked off the record in Johannesburg, South Africa late last summer, then toured through Europe, Asia, Australia and North America last fall. The South American show will take place in Santiago Chile on March 23, followed up by King George Island in Antarctica on March 25, where they hope to receive the Guinness World Record. In addition to setting a world record, the band will be working closely with Greenpeace for the concert in Antarctica to raise awareness about global warming.
