The All-American Rejects are locked in to headline this year’s Fandom Party. Yes, the same band you screamed along with in your first car. This July, they’re bringing the full setlist to San Diego Comic-Con 2025. Where Fandom’s annual rooftop takeover at the Hard Rock Hotel returns for its eighth year on July 24.
The invite-only event runs from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. and is once again timed to hit right as the city’s largest fan convention takes over downtown.
Pop-Punk Legends Meet the Epic Universe
With hits like Dirty Little Secret, Gives You Hell, and Move Along, The All-American Rejects defined a generation of anthems and built a career on emotionally charged crowd energy. The band has sold over 10 million albums and racked up billions of global streams. Their live set at FLOAT on top of the Hard Rock will be loud, nostalgic, and exactly what this fandom-fueled week needs.
This year’s Fandom Party is presented by Universal Orlando Resort and Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc., two powerhouses bringing their own immersive worlds to the celebration.

The lineup of sponsors expands beyond the main stage. The Elf on the Shelf Santaverse, Z2, and Mike’s HARDER Lemonade are all bringing themed activities to the event. Expect a scavenger hunt hosted by a grinning holiday elf, exclusive gifts, and plenty of on-theme cocktails for those 21 and up.
Fandom’s annual party is known for turning the volume up on fan culture and dropping hundreds of insiders, celebrities, and community icons into the same space. This year will be no different.
