Blink-182 confirmed they will be going on a world tour next year with the original line-up and while fans are excited they’re also making age jokes.
The iconic punk rock band announced they would be embarking on a tour from 2023 to 2024 with the original three members, Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker for the first time in a decade.
Blink-182 World Tour
Yesterday, October 11, the band released an announcement saying they will be reuniting for a world tour next year with the classic line-up.
To announce the reunification the band released a cheeky video littered with innuendos as people expressed their want for the back to return.
Along with the announcement they would reunite, they announced a world tour, and a new single, “Edging” which drops on Friday, October 14, prefacing the band’s next studio album.
Their tour will take them to Latin America for the first time alongside stops in North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia – these dates include appearances at festivals such as Lollapalooza.
The Latin America dates will feature support from Wallows, North America will have support from Turnstile, Europe dates will be supported by The Story So Far and Oceania dates will be supported by Rise Against.
Blink-182 Fans Make Age Jokes
This is the first time the OG trio – who first went multi-platinum in 1999 album Enema of the State, which featured the hit singles “What’s My Age Again?” and “All the Small Things” – will come back together in almost 10 years.
This makes most fans who are excited about the return mostly in the Millenial group of Gen X – and don’t they know it? Twitter has been littered with fans making age jokes about those excited about the tour being “older”.
