Eventful, the leading global events Web site, has joined forces with multi-platinum, Interscope rock band The All-American Rejects to route their next tour and encourage voter registration through Rock the Vote, an organization dedicated to building political power for young people. The All-American Rejects, who won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Group Video for "Move Along", are currently in the studio recording the follow up to their multi-platinum sophomore CD, Move Along, and turning to their fans to decide where to tour. Through Eventful's Demand service, The All-American Rejects have launched a nationwide competition in which the top 5 cities win a concert.

Eventful Demand enables fans to influence where their favorite artists perform by creating grassroots campaigns to "Demand" the artists to come to
their town. Thousands of artists, comedians and even politicians are using
Eventful Demand to connect with their fans and empower them to help shape
their tour. Eventful Demand is quickly becoming a phenomenon in the music
and entertainment industry.

"We get tons of requests to play in cities all over the world, and since we can't make it everywhere, we're really excited to be able to let our fans decide where to go. A great bonus is to be able to spread the message about how important it is to get involved and register to vote in the upcoming election. We're excited to be working with Eventful and Rock the Vote on this unique competition," said The All-American Rejects.

"We are encouraging fans to register to vote at the same time they are
voting for The All-American Rejects to play in their city. Connecting voter
registration to pop culture and music is core to Rock the Vote's mission to
engage young people across the country who are demanding to be heard in
this historic election," said Heather Smith, Executive Director, Rock the
Vote.

Launched June 24th, The All-American Rejects Demand competition will continue through 2:00 p.m. PT, September 15, on Eventful. The winning cities will be announced on September 15.

"It's an honor to work with Rock the Vote and The All-American Rejects to promote voter registration and broader youth engagement in the political
process," said Jordan Glazier, CEO of Eventful. "We're excited to help The
All-American Rejects give their fans the power to shape their tour."

Along with MySpace, YouTube, and iTunes, Eventful is quickly becoming an essential part of the online marketing toolkit for performers and artists, empowering fans to influence the touring decisions of their favorite performers and enabling performers to make the best decisions about where to tour.

Fans can log on to The All-American Rejects' Eventful page, MySpace page and Rock the Vote to register to vote and join the competition to Demand a performance from The All-American Rejects.
