The All-American Rejects are jumping aboard the wave of 2000s-era emo nostalgia with their first extensive tour since 2017, which will begin Aug. 11 in Tampa, Fl. The Wet Hot All-American Summer trek will feature support from scene veterans New Found Glory, the Starting Line, Motion City Soundtrack, and the Get Up Kids.
After “trying to get out on the road in a proper way for the last few years,” the band says it realized after appearing at last year’s emo-dominated When We Were Young festival that “the world was ready to pull out of their ‘guilty pleasure chest’ and celebrate the soundtrack of their youth. When New Found Glory, the Starting Line, Motion City Soundtrack, and the Get Up Kids signed on, the feeling was, ‘This is a celebration of summers gone by.’” Various ticket pre-sales begin tomorrow (April 4).

Best known for the hit singles “Dirty Little Secret,” “Move Along,” “It Ends Tonight,” and “Gives You Hell,” the Rejects last toured widely in 2017. They haven’t released a new album since 2012’s Kids in the Street.
The news comes just a few weeks after Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter released Creatrix, the debut album by his new project Now More Than Ever. The group finds him flanked by Rejects touring member Scott Chesak and musician Izzy Fontaine, who has worked with Taking Back Sunday, Tegan & Sara, and Glassjaw.
