Posted by: Jason Tate (03/17/08)
The meaning behind the sevencontinents.tv site has been revealed, first by a vacation website, and then by Pete himself. Fall Out Boy will play a show at a research station in Antarctica on March 25th in order to set a world record as the first band to play shows on all seven continents.
From the Vacation WebsiteThey will play a special concert there in order to set a world record. Attending will be with personal of the Russian, Chinese and Chilean stations. Don't miss this fantastic event on 25 March, 2008. You are invited to this world record concert courtesy of Victory Adventure Expeditions Ltd.

Cost is only $2500 with all included, from Punta Arenas, Chile. FOB will be playing in an exclusive concert in Santiago, Chile on March 23. Contact us in Chile for reservations. FOB Concert in Antarctica from 12:30-1:30 PM. Then tours to see Penguins, Elephant Seals, Glaciers and Icebergs. This is a one day trip returning to Punta Arenas in the late afternoon."

From Pete's Blogglacial

as you may have read on other corners of the internet, we are going to play a show at a scientific colony in antartica on march 25. we are making this trip with greenpeace and will attempt to document some of the impacts of global warming. we will be bringing a certified recorder from guinness book of world records and will attempt to be the first band to play a concert on all seven continents. we will be bring a photographer and video equipment to document it....

we didnt want to release this news officially until we had squared the entire trip away as weather patterns and other factors make confirmation more than a few weeks out difficult, but this news was released on other websites - so we decided to give you the most accurate story. more info coming shortly.

That would be cool if there's actually some kids that live in Antarctica that have been praying for FOB to come there and are basically crapping themselves right now.

Agreed. I don't trust any company with a website that looks like I made it in 6th grade computer class.
