Iconic Rock Band The All-American Rejects to Reschedule August 29 Show at Kansas Star Arena for March 14, 2026

MULVANE— The iconic alternative rock band, The All-American Rejects, has rescheduled its Friday, August 29 show at the Kansas Star Arena for March 14, 2026.

A representative for the band issued the following statement: “Unfortunately, due to a band member falling ill, The All-American Rejects need to postpone their August 29 engagement. All tickets will be honored for the rescheduled date.  Refunds, if needed, will be available at point of purchase.”

The All-American Rejects, formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma, in 1999, quickly rose to prominence in the early 2000s with their infectious blend of pop-punk and emo rock. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2002, featured the hit single "Swing, Swing," which propelled them into the mainstream. This success was followed by their sophomore album, "Move Along" which trophied chart-topping singles like "Dirty Little Secret" and "It Ends Tonight."

In 2008, they released "When the World Comes Down," featuring the stratospheric and generational smash hit "Gives You Hell," which became their most successful single to date, reaching number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band's fourth studio album, "Kids in the Street," came out in 2012, showcasing a more mature sound while still retaining their signature style.

Despite a quieter period in the mid-2010s, The All-American Rejects maintained a dedicated fanbase and continued to tour sporadically while catching up on life that the road kept them from. The summer of 2023 was a significant milestone for the band, as they embarked on the successful “Wet Hot All-American Summer Tour.” The tour celebrated their enduring legacy and brought their energetic performances to fans old and new across the country.

As of now, The All-American Rejects continue to create and perform, solidifying their place as one of the most beloved bands of their genre. Their journey from early 2000s hitmakers to enduring rock icons is a testament to their talent, resilience, and the deep connection they share with their fans.
