“Neon City Festival is thrilled to round out its first-ever lineup with The All-American Rejects and Plain White T’s,” said Jeff Victor, CEO of Neon City Festival. “The festival features a diverse range of genres and eras of music, where you might rediscover an artist you loved back in the day or get to know exciting up-and-coming talent.”
A look into the newest talent:
- The All-American Rejects – Since the start of their career, alt-rock/power pop titans The All-American Rejects have sold over 10 million albums worldwide and helped define a post-emo sound that was the soundtrack of a decade. With smash hits “Gives You Hell,” Dirty Little Secret,” “Move Along,” “Swing, Swing” and “It Ends Tonight,” their songs have become an indelible slice of the era.
- Plain White T’s – Since emerging in 1997, Chicago quartet Plain White T’s—Tom Higgenson [vocals], Tim Lopez [lead guitar, vocals], Mike Retondo [bass], and De’Mar Hamilton [drums]—have remained visible and viable. The band has amassed over 2.7 billion total global streams, earned two Grammy nominations, and collected several Platinum-plus and Gold certifications across their impressive catalog. Their signature single “Hey There Delilah” went quadruple-platinum, topped the Billboard Hot100, and earned the pair of aforementioned GRAMMY® nominations in 2008—for “Song of the Year” and “Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.”
