blink-182 Announces Huge Tour, FALL OUT BOY, WEEZER, others on Board

     MUSIC NEWS - Travis Barker, Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus, better known as blink-182, earlier this year announced they have reunited. Today, details of their monster summer tour is out.  And we now know this legendary punk band will feature other bands on the run and offer "discounted" ($20) lawn tickets for each amphitheater show. The tour kicks off on July 24th in Las Vegas, NV and ends on October 3rd at The Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ (full itinerary below the break). Tickets are on sale  beginning May 30.  In addition,  blink-182 will feature a full package of support acts such as Fall Out Boy, Weezer, Panic At The Disco, All American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, Chester French and Asher Roth. The band chose to feature support acts that were mutual friends, along with some exciting new artists.

This summer, blink-182 is vowing to give fans the best value for their dollar. As the tour primarily stops at amphitheaters, the band has taken the extraordinary step of making lawn tickets available at $20 including all fees while supplies last. NO charge for parking, ticketing fees, no tax, No nothing... You got a 20 dollar bill and you're on the lawn and in the show.

"We can't wait to get out on tour this summer. After a four year break, we're ready to get out on the road and play what we hope will be the most amazing tour of the season. The lineup is awesome. We've got an ever-changing roster of bands, from the most established and successful names in rock and roll, to the hottest up and coming artists on the scene. For production, we're putting together the most ambitious stage show of our career. Working with Martin Phillips (stage designer for Daft Punk, Kanye West, Nine Inch Nails, etc), you can expect the most ridiculous display of lights and images we can imagine. And the best part is that we're bringing all of this together for one of the lowest-priced tours of the summer. We've worked very hard with the promoters to make possible something that has never been done by any major touring act. 20 dollar tickets. 20 dollars gets you into the blink-182 tour this summer. No hidden fees, no parking fees, no extras, no processing charge. 20 dollars and you're at the show. Good Times!" said blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus.

"Ever since I heard 'dude ranch' I knew I wanted to meet blink-182. They basically were saying and doing everything I wanted to, only in smarter and funnier ways. To have the chance to join them on tour has always been a dream for our band. We thought we probably would never have the chance. It's good for music that blink-182 is making noise again. I'm really happy to be able to see it from such a close point of view," said Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz.
