For their first-ever SXSW appearance, The All-American Rejects will share how their sold-out House Party Tour reimagined live music by performing in backyards, skateparks and unique spaces for fans and artists. Once a staple of the major label system, the band is now fully independent—writing, recording, and releasing on their own terms. In this session, they’ll explore how artists can break into touring without gatekeepers and build community-driven experiences outside traditional venues.
