The All-American Rejects played a surprise show in a Minneapolis bowling alley
Fans of '00s pop-punk got a treat on Friday night if they were lucky enough to be plugged in and determined to stand in line.
The All-American Rejects played a pop-up show at the Memory Lanes bowling alley in south Minneapolis, a show that was only announced hours before the band took the stage on Friday.
In fact, "due to overwhelming demand," the band played twice, posting on Instagram that they decided to add a late show after seeing how many people were waiting to get into the bowling alley.
Videos shared across social media show a deeply enthusiastic crowd belting out songs alongside singer Tyson Ritter and crowdsurfing across the alley.
The group tore through fan favorites like "Gives You Hell" and "Dirty Little Secret," as well as their just-released new track, "Sandbox."
The "It Ends Tonight" band will be playing pop-up shows around the country as part of its "house party tour," which started in Green Bay and continued with a backyard house party in Chicago before coming to Minneapolis.
They're following Friday's show with a Saturday concert in Ames, Iowa, the band announced on Saturday afternoon.
The tour is building excitement for The All-American Rejects' upcoming fifth studio album, which will be their first since 2012.
