Blink 182 'reunion' album

Setting the alternative nation abuzz with excitement and anticipation, Travis Barker, Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus, better known as Blink-182, one of the world's greatest punk rock bands, earlier this year officially announced they are back together. They are confirming their monster summer tour which features a ton of great bands such as Fall Out Boy, Weezer, Panic At The Disco, All American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, Chester French and Asher Roth.

The Live Nation produced tour kicks off on July 24th in Las Vegas, NV and culminates October 3rd at The Borgata in Atlantic City. The national tour will be presented by T Mobile Sidekick LX, State Farm and MySpace.

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 summer's best rock show.

Known for connecting with their fans, the band 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.

"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 everchanging 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 lowestpriced 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 bassist Mark Hoppus.

"Blink-182 has made a career out of outrageous behavior, " said Live Nation's, Jason Garner, "so it's fitting that they are breaking the rules again creating such a huge show at an incredibly low price. It will be a can't miss event."

"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.
