About the Artist:

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 one triple-platinum single, one double-platinum single, four 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 ‚BestRockSongsofthe2010s, while Apple Music included “Weak” on its BestAltSongsofthe2010s. Not to mention, they remain one of the ‚500Most-ListenedtoArtists“ on Spotify. On the heels of Neotheater, they dropped the 2020 platinum blockbuster “BANG!”, which they performed on TODAY, TheEllenDeGeneresShow, and even at the Macy‘sThanksgivingDayParade. Now, the band open up their world like never before on their fourth full-length album, OKORCHESTRA (S-Curve/BMG), introduced by the single “Way Less Sad.”

This postgame concert will be produced by BallPark Music.
