After meeting in a geology class at Poway High School, Nathan Darmody and Tom Norris began to write music together in the spring of 2007.

Darmody's friend Zachary "Zach" Porter later joined their band and the three formed 'Outerspace Politicians' in June 2007.

The band wrote and recorded early demos in Darmody's bedroom in the ensuing months using FL Studio.

This resulted in little attention, although it prompted local drummer Michael Martinez to contact the band and audition to join.

In an effort to begin practicing live, Porter recruited friend Cameron Quiseng (pronounced /ˈkiːsɛŋ/).

Shortly before signing with Hollywood Records, Norris left the band to pursue college, and is still credited with writing "Clock Runs Out", "A Different Side Of Me", "Here With You", "Journey To the End Of My Life", and "Dance Forever".

Prior to becoming contestants on Radio Disney's Next Big Thing, they contributed songs (one of which was an early, more synthesized version of "Dance Forever") as part of a digital split album titled Chicken Finger Fingers on Drive-Thru Records with Dino Club.

Allstar Weekend was one of many bands who recorded remakes of popular Disney songs on the compilation album, Disneymania 7, which was released on April 17, 2010.

The music video was released June 12, 2010, and takes place in the backyard of a house where a pool party is being thrown and the band is performing.

Allstar Weekend's fall tour in 2010 included other acts: Stephen Jerzak, Action Item, and The Scene Aesthetic.

The tour started on November 4, 2010, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and ended on December 17 at House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California.

On July 13, Allstar Weekend stated that guitarist Eric Nicolau would be filling in for Darmody on their tour with Selena Gomez & the Scene.

Since leaving the band, Darmody has continued his career as a solo artist under the title of IWXO (which stands for "I'm With Love").

On January 18, 2013, Porter, Quiseng, and Martinez announced via Stickam that the band would be taking a 'permanent hiatus' after Warped Tour, citing the gap in musical style between their current and previous material.

They stated that they would be starting a new band, along with touring member Brent Schneiders, but would not perform any Allstar Weekend songs under the new project.

On it, the band covers "Drops Of Jupiter" by Train, "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen, "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift, "Perfect Situation" by Weezer and "I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis.

In October 2013, it was revealed that the band was coming out with one more album, stating: "We have decided it would be more appropriate to thank you in an ALLSTAR WEEKEND release.

After the dissolution of Allstar Weekend, Porter, Quiseng, Martinez, and Schneiders formed a new band, The Tragic Thrills.

In May 2023, Porter was interviewed on the YouTube channel "The Voice Party Podcast" giving details on how the band was formed and the reasons behind their disbandment.
