FIFA World Cup

The time changed for this pop-punk band’s show at KC’s FIFA Fan Fest. Here’s when

It’s no dirty little secret that this beloved pop-punk band from the 2000s is coming back to Kansas City. When they’ll be on stage has changed, however.

The All-American Rejects are still set to perform at FIFA Fan Festival at the National World War I Museum & Memorial Saturday, July 11. The band known for hits like “Gives You Hell,” “Swing Swing,” “Move Along” and “Dirty Little Secret” were initially scheduled for 6:45 p.m. to 8 p.m., leading into the quarterfinal match played at Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Stadium).

That has now changed to give people an opportunity to see the show and head to the stadium, according to officials with KC 2026.

The band from Stillwater, Oklahoma, are now performing from 2:30 to 3:45 p.m., and are now the lead-in for the first quarterfinal match between Norway and England, scheduled to start at 4 p.m. The rest of the day’s schedule has also been changed.

Tech N9ne, KC’s local hip-hip icon, was originally set to perform from 2:30-4 p.m. and serve as the lead-in to Norway/England, but he’ll now perform from 1:30-2:15 p.m. Local artists Dom Chronicles and The Phantastics will be on stage between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., when the TVs will switch over to Argentina’s match.

Fan Fest is open from noon to 10 p.m. Saturday, or whenever the last match of the day ends if it goes into extra time or a penalty shootout.
