As Fall Out Boy are gearing up to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of their fourth studio album, Folie à Deux, the group has shared an extra special treat for fans to commemorate the December 10, 2008 release.
Across their social media accounts, the band shares, “Introducing Folie à Bleu, the 15th anniversary vinyl edition. The label changed the color of the album cover to blue without asking us & we didn’t want it all to go to waste. Only 2,500 of these were pressed. once they’re gone, they’re gone!”

The special bleu edition of Folie à Deux as well as special anniversary merch will officially drop and be available on Monday, December 11 at 12:30 PM ET/9:30 AM PT on the band’s website. You can shop the anniversary collection here.
As fans will recall, the album adorned a striking red cover, and boasted iconic tunes such as “20 Dollar Nose Bleed” featuring Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie, and “What a Catch, Donnie,” which featured guest vocals from Urie, The Cab’s Alexander DeLeon, The Academy Is…’s William Beckett, Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy, Cobra Starship/Midtown’s Gabe Saporta, Doug Neumann, and the legendary Elvis Costello.
In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle in 2008 just ahead of the release, guitarist Joe Trohman revealed, “”It was fun because the recording process was so collaborative,” Trohman says. “The only difficult thing was that things were so rushed. But, all in all, we’re super happy with how it turned out.” Take a walk down memory lane to celebrate 15 years of Folie à Deux below.
Fall Out Boy will be embarking on the second leg of the U.S. So Much For (Tour) Dust next year, which kicks off at the end of February in Portland, OR. Check out the band’s full touring schedule and grab tickets to see the band perform live here.
