Blink-182, the pop-punk group born in Poway, will launch a North American tour July 22 in its home base of San Diego, ending Oct. 1 in Los Angeles, the band announced.
The 44-date series will be Blink-182’s first tour since guitarist-vocalist Tom DeLonge left the band in 2015, according to LoudWire.
“In place of the longtime Blink member, Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba has taken on DeLonge’s duties both live and in the studio. Last night (April 27), Blink released their first-ever song without DeLonge, “Bored to Death.” The cut will appear on Blink’s seventh studio album, California, which will hit stores July 1,” said LoudWire.
Tickets go on sale May 6, with a presale May 2.
The group will perform Sept. 29 at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater before the Oct. 1 date at The Forum in Inglewood.
Blink-182 was formed in August 1992.
As Wikipedia recalls: “Tom DeLonge was expelled from Poway High for attending a basketball game drunk and was forced to attend another local school for one semester. At Rancho Bernardo High School, DeLonge performed at a Battle of the Bands competition, where he was introduced to drummer Scott Raynor.
“He also befriended Kerry Key, who too was interested in punk music. Key’s girlfriend, Anne Hoppus, introduced her brother Mark Hoppus — who had recently moved from Ridgecrest to work at a record store and attend college—to DeLonge on August 1, 1992.
“The two clicked instantly and played for hours in DeLonge’s garage, exchanging lyrics and co-writing songs—one of which became ‘Carousel’”
