Much like their friend/mentor/sorta-boss Jay-Z, Fall Out Boy plan to celebrate the release of their new album with a larger-than-life publicity stunt. They’re even taking a tip from Jay and his epic eight-shows-in-one-day effort by staging multiple shows in multiple locations over the course of a single day. On February 6, the day their Infinity On High album hits stores , FOB will team with MTV to play three shows – in three different cities – in one day.
