The All-American Rejects

The All-American Rejects land at O2 Forum Kentish Town on 16 June 2026 with the tuneful punch that made them a fixture of the 2000s alt-rock and pop-punk wave. Born in Stillwater, Oklahoma, the band centers on singer-bassist Tyson Ritter and guitarist Nick Wheeler, joined on stage by Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor. Their songwriting blends electric guitars, driving bass and gang vocals with lyrics about relationships, growing pains and the messier edges of early adulthood, skirting the lines between emo-pop and power-pop.

On stage, that mix turns into fast, melodic hooks built for call-and-response moments. The set draws from their self-titled debut (2002) and the chapter opened by Move Along (2005), through When the World Comes Down (2008) and Kids in the Street (2012), up to the EP Send Her to Heaven (2019). Expect sharp dynamics, choruses that stick and a catalog that moves easily from urgency to bittersweet swagger. A chance to hear two decades of songs distilled into a tight, guitar-forward show in London.
