If you love music festival drama, we’ve got you.<\/p>\n

First, The All-American Rejects bailed on a popular music festival, When We Were Young (Oct. 19-21, 2024), presumably due to “a management change” in the festival. Now, we hear the band has been picked up by a new Las Vegas festival, Neon City Festival (Nov. 22-24, 2024).<\/p>\n

Note: For the purposes of this story, we are going to pretend we know who The All-American Rejects are. Just play along.<\/p>\n

The last time The All-American Rejects played Fremont Street, some people turned up. Here’s the setlist<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s the quick version.<\/p>\n

The All-American Rejects are an American rock band known for their blend of pop-punk and emo with hits like “Swing, Swing” and “Gives You Hell.” The band consists of Tyson Ritter (lead vocals), Nick Wheeler (lead guitar), Mike Kennerty (rhythm guitar) and Chris Gaylor (drums).<\/p>\n

The Rejects were scheduled to play at When We Were Young, but suddenly dropped out<\/a> for reasons that were fairly cryptic.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Everybody tries to play nice in public statements, but read on for the straight scoop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Basically, festival organizers wanted The Rejects to play their entire self-titled album, “All-American Rejects,” and the band wanted to play their greatest hits. So, The Rejects basically said, “You’re not the boss of us,” and bailed.<\/p>\n

Fans were disappointed. The upstart Neon City Festival saw an opportunity and seized it.<\/p>\n

The Neon City Festival hasn’t officially confirmed the booking of The Rejects, but when has that ever stopped us from sharing scoop?<\/p>\n
