All-American Rejects' House Party Tour: A Rebellion Against Arena Prices

The All-American Rejects defy the odds with their unique house party tour. The band's lead singer, Tyson Ritter, recently sat down with CNN to discuss their unconventional approach to touring, which began as a protest against the rising costs of large-scale arena shows. "The idea came...it was born out of just a real pure, intentional moment of like, let's go have fun and get back to the way we started," Ritter explained. This decision led to a series of intimate house concerts across the country, resulting in a memorable incident in Missouri. During a show at a graduation party, the police were called. "We got the cops called on us. It was their graduation day, just by the fates," Ritter recalled with a chuckle. Despite the unexpected interruption, the band's house party tour has been a success, demonstrating a creative and effective way to connect with fans on a more personal level.
