It’s not a phase, Mom — and Fall Out Boy returns to Des Moines to prove it. The pop-punk band behind 2000s hits like “Dance, Dance,” “Thnks Fr the Mmrs” and “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” takes the stage at 6:30 tonight at Wells Fargo Arena.

The four-hour show has earned positive reviews from its earlier tour stops, with concertgoers highlighting the over-the-top pyrotechnics and eccentric props. The setlist is a trip down memory lane from the band’s nearly 20-year discography, as well as covers of other popular punk songs from the era.

They’ll be joined by up-and-coming artist CARR, as well as Hot Mulligan and Jimmy Eat World, the band that brought us “The Middle.”

So if you’re ready to dust off those studded belts, you’re in luck: tickets are still available. Rock on!
