The Savannah Bananas are having a wild summer. How much are tickets now?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Somehow, the Savannah Bananas keep outdoing themselves. The wildly entertaining team known for viral stunts — like batters fishing on stilts, catchers on beanbags, umpires showing off surprisingly impressive dance moves — upped the ante this summer and invited 2000s emo mainstays All-American Rejects to perform an in-game concert at Fenway Park. Lead singer Tyson Ritter worked his way from the packed stands to the field to deliver abridged versions of their hits 'Move Along,' 'Dirty Little Secret' and 'Gives You Hell' while the Bananas danced and clapped in the background. '[Banana ball] takes everything dull or overly subtle about baseball and smashes it underfoot, while dancing to a pop song,' The Post shared in a gleeful op-ed. Other fun bits they've pulled off these past few months include a hoppy suitcase race, lip-synced walks to the plate, choreographed 'Drake and Josh' dances and an on-field appearance by the endlessly catchy Fitz and the Tantrums (seriously, check their Instagram Reels and you won't be able to leave the page for hours). What other tricks does the rule-breaking, fun-loving club have up their sleeve later this summer? While we can't say for sure (although we have our fingers crossed that 78-year-old pitcher/former Red Sox star/semi-regular Banana Ball player Bill 'Spaceman' Lee takes the mound again), all we know is the best way to find out is live. New Yorkers are in luck, too. On Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14, the Savannah Bananas are headed to the Bronx for a pair of games at Yankee Stadium against their rival, The Firefighters. Want to be there? At the time of publication, the cheapest tickets for a game at Aaron Judge's home field is $102 including fees on Vivid Seats. Their other games at stadiums all over the country have seats starting anywhere from $169 to $951 including fees.

This is your moment. The '00s hitmakers have shows at venues all over North America — they've even played a few unconventional gigs in backyards and bowling alleys along with Boston's famed ballpark — these next few months. That includes a concert opening for the Jonas Brothers at East Rutherford, NJ's MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 10. To find the one that makes the most sense for you, you can review All-American Rejects' complete 2025 calendar here. About the Savannah Bananas After forming in 2016, the 'exhibition barnstorming baseball team' made a name for themselves by embracing 'exhibition' and 'barnstorming' while halfway ditching 'baseball.' The team now plays banana ball which has quirky rules like fan-caught foul balls counting as outs, games not being allowed to exceed two hours in length and batters stealing first base. Yet, still, that's barely scratching the surface of the innovative game's showmanship. Simply put, we recommend following Savannah's Instagram to see what hijinx the entertaining team is up to. Savannah Party Animals As you may have noticed, most games will find the Bananas squaring off against their cherished rival, the Party Animals. Also based out of Savannah, the team is evenly matched with the Bananas. 'I think there are some guys that are obvious fits for the Bananas, and some guys that are obvious fits for the Party Animals,' coach Nate Fish told Savannah Now following team tryouts. 'We need the games to be really competitive. We can't load up one team. It's not like the (Harlem) Globetrotters and the (Washington Generals). The games aren't scripted. The games are highly competitive. Anyone can win. We have to take a look at balance to do that.' Savannah Bananas 2025 roster Who are the stars that make up the Bananas squad? Great question.

Forget stadiums. These rockers may be coming to a back yard near you
The All-American Rejects are bringing back the house party. The rock band, who topped the charts in the early 2000s such with hits as 'Move Along' and 'Gives You Hell,' is popping up, playing surprise shows in small venues across the country. So far, the concert spots have included a backyard near the University of Missouri in Columbia, a barn in Ames, Iowa, and a Minneapolis bowling alley. The band's frontman, Tyson Ritter, said the musicians 'wanted to get back to the spirit of what started this band.' Shortly before each surprise show, the location is sent to fans in the area who have signed up for the band's text messages. With concert ticket prices skyrocketing, it's a novel approach to making live music accessible to fans. The band's drummer, Chris Gaylor, said he hopes the shows make fans 'excited to go to a show again and see it's possible to see something without having to pay exorbitant money.' Videos of the shows have been flooding social media. Some, taking to TikTok, offering up their back yards for potential future shows. The non-traditional tour has been widely well-received, though police appeared to shut down one event in Missouri. 'This thing got bigger than our band,' Ritter said. 'This thing became something, I guess, in the last week that spoke to people, and hit a nerve.'

All-American Rejects backyard concert shut down by cops
It ends tonight — or does it? The All-American Rejects' unorthodox concert in the backyard of a house near the University of Missouri in Columbia on May 18 was shut down by police. But one of the officers who's a fan of the band let them play one last song to wrap up the night.

Whoa, whoa whoa. We've gotta stop it.' 'The cops just shut us down,' Ritter, 41, added. 'Sorry, y'all. We just got kicked off campus.'

'The Sergeant told me that he knew exactly who the band was and listened to them a lot while he was in college,' Fitzgerald shared.

The All-American Rejects house party tour looks like the most fun show you could imagine
The All-American Rejects house party tour looks like the most fun show you could imagine Show Caption Hide Caption Watch as All-American Rejects perform surprise show Less than 30 hours after the show was announced, hundreds attended the All-American Rejects' surprise show in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The All-American Rejects are playing house shows, bowling alleys, and barns across the country. Everyone, but especially the band, is loving it. AAR is a band that formed in 1999 and some of their biggest singles (e.g. "Dirty Little Secret" and "Move Along" and "It Ends Tonight") released in 2005. They provided songs for soundtracks from the early aughts in movies like She's The Man or TV shows like One Tree Hill and Smallville. Their cultural footprint is one rooted in nostalgia (like when they headlined the When We Were Young festival in 2022) not just for their own music but for a sound and feeling of decades past. That's why their recent shows are especially cool: It's making fans feel young again. USA TODAY: All-American Rejects singer answers burning questions about those viral pop-up shows All-American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter said that they're the "best shows" they've ever played in their lives. Here is more (via Rolling Stone): "It feels great to flip the bird to the giant titanic music industry. I only hope young bands can see this as an inspiring way to disrupt this market. People are tired of being force-fed everything. Music is seen before it's heard. We're in the age of celebrity-defining success. If you're a popular artist, you could literally fart on a microphone and have a hit song. That's a shame." Inspired by their early years of playing student-promoted backyards and basements, they wanted to connect back to their roots and DIY origins back when they were sleeping in their van. They have played in front of 5,000 people in Iowa and as intimate as 400 people in suburban Chicago. Ritter added that while his band has an upcoming tour with The Jonas Brothers and will soon play MetLife Stadium, he already knows that it won't "hold a candle" to the house show in Nashville. The band is reportedly using footage from these shows to make a music video for an upcoming single. You can RSVP for one of their house parties by clicking here.
