Kicking their highly-anticipated US Tour up another notch, Fall Out Boy has announced that acclaimed rapper 50 Cent will join the band in select markets on their ‘Believers Never Die Part Deux’ tour, the band’s 2009 headline arena tour, which kicks off April 3rd in Phoenix at Mesa Amphitheater.

The ‘Believers Never Die Part Deux Tour’ has been selling out in many markets since tickets went on sale in late January. The dates featuring 50 Cent include Dallas on April 14th at Nokia Theatre. Each day this week, another city with 50 Cent performing will be announced on friendsorenemies.com. The tour comes in support of Fall Out Boy’s fourth full-length cd, FOLIE à DEUX, which was released late last year. Full list of tour dates to follow.

In addition, Fall Out Boy has released their new online game, Fall Out Boy trail (www.falloutboytrail.com), which fans can play and win tickets to see the band. Another way for fans to get involved with the tour includes the Myspace Karaoke contest (http://ksolo.myspace.com/music/Fall-Out-Boy), where the grand Prize is an all expenses paid trip to see the band on the ‘Believers Never Die Part Deux’ tour.
