Setting the alternative nation abuzz with excitement and anticipation, Travis Barker, Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus, better known as blink-182, one of the worlds greatest punk rock bands, earlier this year officially announced they are back together. This summer they will head out across North America on a monster tour, taking along a ton of friends who also happen to be in great bands. The July 28 stop at Vancouvers GM Place will also feature The All American Rejects and Chester French.
With more than 20 million albums sold worldwide, blink-182 is widely considered one of the best punk rock bands of all time. Formed in the San Diego suburbs in 1993, the band found international fame, multi-platinum albums and massive radio airplay success before breaking up in 2004. Although each member went on to their own successful projects, personal events and natural chemistry brought them back together. In what each of the band members describe as nothing short of fate, they have newfound inspiration and creativity together, and are working to create the summers best rock show. Known for connecting with their fans, blink-182 is out to prove that after five years apart, they can still deliver a massive show and this will be the highlight of the summer touring season.
This summer, blink-182 is vowing to give fans the best value for their dollar. The band has put together the most ambitious stage show of their career, working with Martin Phillips (stage designer for Daft Punk, Kanye West, Nine Inch Nails, etc), to create the most ridiculous display of lights and images you can imagine. The band will also provide MySpace fans with exclusive videos and tour diaries throughout the summer on their official MySpace Music profile at www.myspace.com/blink182, thus allowing fans to connect and share in their experiences. Fans can also purchase tickets for the tour through MySpaces new ticket portal at myspace.com/concerttickets.
