FireKeepers Books The All-American Rejects, Rob Thomas for April Shows

FireKeepers Casino Hotel is injecting a serious dose of star power into the Battle Creek entertainment scene this April.

The venue just announced that The All-American Rejects and Grammy-winning artist Rob Thomas are slated for headlining performances, promising a month of high-energy rock and soulful acoustics.

This signals a major booking coup for the local entertainment hub, which continues to draw prominent national acts.

First up, the Oklahoma-bred rockers, The All-American Rejects, will take the stage on Thursday, April 2.

Fans can anticipate a setlist packed with nostalgia, revisiting the era-defining hits that launched the band to stardom.

Since forming in 1999, the group became a mainstay of the 2000s rock scene with anthems like “Swing, Swing” and “Dirty Little Secret.”

Their chart-topping single “Gives You Hell” cemented their place in rock history, and their live shows are known for their raw, infectious energy.

Just two weeks later, on Friday, April 17, the spotlight turns to Rob Thomas, the celebrated voice of Matchbox Twenty.

Thomas is scheduled for an intimate show with a purpose.

The performance will support the Sidewalk Angels Foundation, a non-profit organization he founded with his wife, Marisol, dedicated to supporting no-kill animal shelters and rescues.

It’s a chance for concertgoers to experience his celebrated songwriting up close while contributing to a meaningful cause.

The evening is expected to feature a blend of his successful solo work and the massive hits that made Matchbox Twenty a global phenomenon.

Tickets for these much-anticipated April concerts are set to go on sale soon, with pricing for The All-American Rejects starting at $89 and Rob Thomas at $99, plus fees.

These performances are part of a powerhouse lineup at FireKeepers Casino Hotel, which has become a premier destination for live entertainment in Southern Michigan.

The venue's calendar also includes upcoming shows with artists like George Thorogood & The Destroyers, David Lee Roth, and Vince Gill, reinforcing its commitment to diverse, high-quality programming.
