BLINK182 will be touring this summer with some amazing support acts to include Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and All-American Rejects among others.  They are back!  They played a secret show on the Paramount Lot in conjunction with a T-Mobil release party.  I think the bigger new was the band was back and in the studio writing and recording a new album.



Here is an excerpt from Mark Hoppus "After four long years the return of blink-182 to the stage!!! t-mobile threw a big party at the paramount lot here in los angeles to launch their new sidekick, and they asked us to play. the whole thing was a secret. travis and dj-am were already scheduled to perform, and as a surprise ending, blink-182 came out at the very end and played a few songs. during the night, weezer performed and played the hits, along with a few covers. TRVS/DJ-AM dominated (as they always do), and then we played. to be honest, it was one of the best nights of my life. thanks to everyone who was there. thanks to t-mobile. and most of all, thanks to travis and tom. you are my brothers, and it feels amazing to share the stage with you once again."
