[With the new Boys of Zummer tour officially launched, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz talks to SOHH about touring with Wiz Khalifa and performing at amphitheaters nationwide.]

It’s hard to go out there and on one hand, play these amphitheaters and arenas and then also have songs that are currently played on current radio, you know.

But I think more than anything, one of the things that we think is interesting or are out to prove is that genres just matter a lot less now. Like, Wiz [Khalifa] is a rock star. People love songs.I think the same people that love “See You Again” would love “Centuries.” I think that’s really important to us.

I think that any responsibility we feel is to the kids out in the crowd because there’s going to be some kid out in the crowd who’s going to be the next Fall Out Boy or Wiz or Skrillex or whatever. I feel a responsibility towards those kids, you know, that they get to take in a cool rock show. Yes, so a little bit.

I know that [Long Island] Hoodie like tweeted me and said he wanted to go on tour from my end. I checked him out, and I was like it’s cool – I like the way he interacts with his fans, and he seemed to have this genuine kind of interaction, an authentic fan-base, you know, which is really cool.

I feel like Hoodie has something special planned, kind of on every date, it seems like, so I would assume he would have something special planned for the hometown show.
