Last Friday, emo overlords Fall Out Boy headlined The O2 Arena in an incredible two-hour display of scene bangers and criminally-underplayed hits – they even threw in a Queen cover for good measure.

But because we at Kerrang! can't let the good times stop, we teamed up with O2 Priority and our pals in WARGASM for the official afterparty! With hundreds of fans pouring into the O2 Blueroom, surfing on the wave of adrenaline after seeing Fall Out Boy effortlessly own a sold-out arena, it was time to put on those dancing (and moshing) shoes.

Swipe through the gallery below for a glimpse of the action.

Having released their debut album Venom the week prior, the punked-up nu-metal revivalists WARGASM delivered a knockout set of brand-new ragers and firm fan favourites to the afterpartiers, firing out everything from D.R.I.L.D.O to Fukstar to Do It So Good to the chaotic climax of Spit. There were some sore bodies after that, we can tell you...
