Fall Out Boy are celebrating two decades of their breakthrough album From Under the Cork Tree with a comprehensive anniversary edition.
The Chicago band announced the 20th anniversary reissue will arrive on October 17th, featuring remastered tracks across multiple formats including 3LP Deluxe Box, 2CD Deluxe Box, and Super Deluxe Digital editions.
Each package contains a treasure trove of previously unreleased material, including acoustic versions, remixes, live BBC Radio sessions, and rare B-sides from the album’s original recording period.
Coinciding with the announcement, Fall Out Boy finally released their long-awaited cover of Gorilla Biscuits’ “Start Today” on streaming platforms. The track originally appeared on the Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland video game soundtrack in 2005 but remained unavailable on streaming platforms until now, becoming something of a holy grail for dedicated fans.
From Under the Cork Tree represented Fall Out Boy’s major label debut and commercial breakthrough, debuting in the top 10 on the Billboard 100 chart. The album spawned massive hits “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Dance, Dance”, propelling the band from underground favourites to mainstream success. The album also earned them a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
The deluxe box sets include exclusive memorabilia that captures the album’s cultural moment. Fans will receive a personal letter from bassist Pete Wentz, a “Dance, Dance” prom photo frame, and a comic book cover illustration inspired by one of the band’s music video.

Beyond the original 13 tracks, the collection features alternate versions of fan favourites, including acoustic renditions of “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner”, alongside remixes from producers like RJD2 and Tommie Sunshine.
Fall Out Boy reflected on the album’s significance in their announcement, stating: “This record changed our lives forever. It’s wild to still be singing these songs together 20 years later & even better that you’re still singing them back.”
