Watch the concert trailer HERE.

AJR’s Hollywood Bowl performance served as the triumphant finale to their spectacular Somewhere in the Sky Tour,which brought their celebrated live show to amphitheaters and outdoor venues across the U.S. and Canada this summer. Filmed under the open Los Angeles sky, the show captures the band’s signature fusion of theatrical production and emotionally charged alt-pop anthems, culminating in an unforgettable encore featuring the USC Trojan Marching Band. From towering stage design and surreal digital moments to intimate conversations with the crowd, this Hollywood Bowl performance stands as one of the band’s most ambitious and heartfelt milestones.

Ticket buyers will also have a one-time-only chance to pre-order a limited-edition Gold Royalty LP of AJR: Live From The Hollywood Bowl, available exclusively through Veeps. For more information and tickets, please visit https://veeps.events/ajr. 

This summer, AJR released What No One’s Thinking, a five-song EP that stands as one of the most personal, introspective projects of their career. Produced and written entirely by the band, the EP showcases AJR’s inventive production and clever lyricism while delving into the quiet, often unspoken corners of everyday emotion. The EP, which emerged from a spontaneous conversation that unearthed a wave of grief, change, and pressure the band had been silently carrying, is a raw, honest, and emotionally open collection that stands as their most vulnerable work to date. Listen to the EP HERE.

The EP features standout singles “Betty,” which the band debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this summer, and “The Big Goodbye,” a poignant reflection on the bittersweet nature of success. “The Big Goodbye” continues to surge across platforms, amassing nearly 20M global streams and becoming a fan favorite on TikTok, where it has generated 500M views to date. The song is also approaching Top 25 at Top 40 radio where it has reacted in a big way with over 110,000 Shazam tags to date due to the continued radio growth.

Next week, AJR will hit the stage for two stops on the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour Presented by Capital One, performing Monday, December 15 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia and Tuesday, December 16 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. AJR will join a star-studded lineup, including Alex Warren, Laufey, Jelly Roll, Olivia Dean, Zara Larsson, BigXThaPlug, and more. The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour stops will be part of the exclusive network special airing December 17 on ABC and next day on Hulu.

AJR are also set to ring in the new year live from Las Vegas with a performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. The special, which will air live across the US on New Year’s Eve, will also feature performances by Mariah Carey, Chappell Roan, Demi Lovato, 50 Cent, Post Malone, and more.

About AJR

Re-envisioning what pop can be in the 21st century, AJR unassumingly emerged as a ubiquitous hit-making outlier and one of the biggest indie bands in the world. Since 2012, the multi platinum indie pop trio—Adam [bass, vocals], Jack [vocals, guitar], and Ryan [ukulele, piano, vocals]—have generated billions of streams and earned three 5x-platinum singles, one triple-platinum single, three double-platinum singles, and one platinum album. 2019’s Neotheater marked their biggest first-week debut, bowing at #8 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 on the Top Alternative Albums Chart, and #1 on the Top Rock Albums Chart. Cemented as part of the modern zeitgeist, Spotify touted “Sober Up” [feat. Rivers Cuomo] among the “Best Rock Songs of the 2010s," while Apple Music included “Weak” on its “Best Alt Songs of the 2010s.” Not to mention, they remain one of the “500 Most-Listened to Artists” on Spotify. On the heels of  Neotheater, they dropped the 2020 5x-platinum blockbuster “BANG!”, which cracked the Top 10 at three radio formats, peaking at No. 6 on the Top 40 chart, No. 2 on Alternative radio and No. 1 on Adult Pop and marked their first Top 10 entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Their latest album, The Maybe Man [AJR Productions/Republic Records], was released in 2023. The title character is “a big sad superhero who is always questioning who he is” – like a giant out of your favorite fairy tale), emotion hangs over his head, so it doesn’t have to hang over yours. Last summer, AJR embarked on The Maybe Man Tour, their first-ever arena headline tour, treating over 500,000 fans to a state-of-the-art production that included multiple larger-than-life 3D optical illusions. The band performed to over 40 sold-out shows across the country, including two nights at their hometown arena, Madison Square Garden.
