. (Radio.com) Fall Out Boy's surprise return to the music scene rolls on, as the resurgent rock act will perform live during the State Farm All-Star Saturday Night over NBA All-Star Weekend, marking the band's first TV performance since their unexpected reunion.

According to MTV News, Fall Out Boy will play their new song, "My Songs Know What You Did in the Day (Light Em Up)," the first single from the band's upcoming full-length release, Save Rock and Roll, due to hit retailers on May 7. Also performing will be Ellie Goulding and Phillip Phillips, with Nick Cannon hosting the event, which will be televised at 7 p.m. ET, Saturday, February 16, on the TNT network.

"Rock and roll to me represents an attitude," said Fall Out Boy's bassist, Pete Wentz, regarding the new album title during a recent interview with Chicago radio station B96. "It represents something inside you. That's why we got into playing music. That's why I wanted to be in the band. So you can take it as an ironic thing or you can take it the way it is. We just wanted to do something that was fun and dangerous for us. We didn't need to do the band again, we wanted to do it because it was fun." more on this story
