BLINK 182 REUNION TOUR

Blink 182 is Back - That’s what Mark Hoppus told everyone at the Grammy Awards in February where the band appeared together for thefirst time in four years.
After an inauspicious start in DeLonge’s family garage, Blink (as they were originally called) soared to fame after their “Enema of the State” album in 1999, which to some fans was the end of the “real punk sound”. However, this is the album that shot the band into the mainstream, generating hit singles and an unbelievable amount of airtime on radio and MTV. “Enema of the State” sold over 15 million copies. The new name Blink-182 came about due to the threat of a lawsuit from a band that already had the name Blink.

The band’s popularity continued with the release of albums “Take of Your Pants and Jacket” in 2001 and “Blink-182” in 2003.

In 2005, friction in the band caused a cancelled tour and DeLong quit the band.

It looks like DeLong is back and so is Blink 182. Now it’s Reunion Tour time for the band. According the band’s website, special guests on the tour will be Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, Panic at the Disco, The All-American Rejects, Chester French and Asher Roth.

The band is proud to announce that there will be tickets priced as low as $20 (lawn tickets with no hidden fees, parking fees, etc.) “$20 and you are at the show!” stated Mark Hoppus.
