Why a Lansing Grocery Store Is Trying to Book The All-American Rejects

Westlund's Apple Market wants to host a concert.

If you're asking yourself why a local grocery store in Lansing wants a band to come play in their parking lot, I'm going to assume you've never been there. If you have been to Westlund's Apple Market in Lansing, you know how wonderful it is.

Why Westlund’s Apple Market Is Unlike Any Other Store

Apple Market has an amazing assortment of hot bar foods, the meat department always has the freshest cuts of meat, and the vinyl record selection is always on point.

Yes, you read that right. Apple Market sells vinyl. Which in my book, makes it about a billion times cooler. But it probably also puts into perspective why they want to host a concert in their parking lot.

But not just any concert, mind you... Westlund's Apple Market wants to invite The All-American Rejects to play a show.

The Band Westlund’s Wants to Bring to Lansing

Known for their hits like "Gives You Hell", "Dirty Little Secret", and "Swing, Swing", The All-American Rejects are an alternative rock/pop/punk band that first showed up in the early 2000s. They are absolutely awesome! I spent my angsty teen years listening to them, and now I spend my slightly less angsty mid-30s enjoying them.

How The All-American Rejects House Party Tour Works

The All-American Rejects are about to embark on their House Party Tour. During this tour, you can request to host a show—and The All-American Rejects could pick your venue.

They played some pretty interesting venues when they did this same type of tour in 2025. They played in a bowling alley in Minneapolis; a barn in Ames, Iowa; and even a random house party.

How You Can Help Bring the Show to Lansing

Westlund's Apple Market is asking for your help in tagging the band on social media and tell them why they should come to play in Lansing.

Hopefully, The All-American Rejects hear our pleas.
