This year’s When We Were Young Festival is going down next weekend (Oct.18-19) in Las Vegas, and the All-American Rejects have just announced they’re dropping off of the lineup.
The band was supposed to play through their 2002 self-titled album.“It is with deep sadness and disappointment that we have to announce that we will no longer be playing When We Were Young festival next weekend,” AAR wrote in a statement posted to Instagram, continuing: In an interview from last month, frontman Tyson Ritter said he never agreed to play All-American Rejects in full and they’d be playing greatest hits instead.
“The people who booked the show were looking for some angle to sell it,” he said.“They didn’t consult with their artists beforehand.
We’re playing a Rejects grand slam hit fest.We’re gonna play the set that you want to see.” The festival has My Chemical Romance performing The Black Parade in full, Jimmy Eat World doing Bleed American, Pierce The Veil doing Collide With The Sky, and more.
