They've sold millions of records, they've been nominated for prestigious awards, their songs have topped the music charts, and they got their start right here in the Land of Lincoln. Now, Fall Out Boy will return to Illinois to take the grandstand stage at the 2015 Illinois State Fair.

The pop-punk band will perform on Saturday, August 15. Best known for songs such as "Sugar, We're Goin Down", "Dance, Dance" and "Centuries", Fall Out Boy is widely considered an influence on punk music in the 2000s. 

The addition of Fall Out Boy completes the headlining acts for the 2015 grandstand stage. "This is a well-rounded lineup," said State Fair Manager Patrick Buchen. "From country to rock and even teen pop, we've got all the genres covered at this year's fair."
