In a music scene often filled with high ticket prices and impersonal stadium shows, The All-American Rejects are changing the game. The band has started a “house party” tour where they perform in intimate settings like backyards and bowling alleys instead of large venues. Fans can even apply to host a show in their city through a link on the band’s Instagram bio.
This tour concept taps into nostalgia while also fostering a sense of community between the band and their fans, reminiscent of early DIY shows. Despite its online popularity, these shows are attracting new fans who appreciate the intimate and authentic experience. What’s even more remarkable is that these shows are mostly free to attend, contrasting with the high prices of big concerts.
At a recent show in Minneapolis, frontman Tyson Ritter gave a passionate speech that went viral, emphasizing the band’s commitment to providing fans with an authentic rock’n’roll experience without the corporate markups and VIP upgrades. This message resonated with fans and felt like a rebellion against the current state of the music industry.
In an interview, Ritter explained that the idea for the tour came from a realization of why they started making music in the first place, harkening back to their roots of playing in intimate settings like house parties. Satu halaman rumput, lapangan, dan lorong boling satu demi satu.
