Pop punk band The All-American Rejects are going old-school for their latest tour.

They're going back to their roots with a "house party tour" with secret "pop up" concerts.

Front man Tyson Ritter says the band wanted to push back against the modern shell-game of filling concert venues.

The All-American Rejects want to rediscover their love for the music as they hit middle-age.

It's not the first time artists have been fed up with the "ticket monopoly" Pearl Jam famously demanded that venues keep charges to under $20 for their 1994 tour.
