Since the release of their debut album in 1994 they have found fans on all corners of the globe as they have taken to the stage and performed some of the best known songs from the pop punk scene, whilst also appearing at festivals and on television screens regularly. Now, as a new decade begins they once again find themselves entertaining the music-loving public and as a result, we can expect Blink-182 tickets to be the top draws that they always have been.
When they take to the stage in the modern day they do so with Tom DeLonge on the lead guitar and vocals, alongside fellow-vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus, plus Travis Barker (whose shocking accident at the end of 2008 would bring them back together and lay the foundations of the reunion) on the drums. They also originally featured Scott Raynore on the drums, but after his departure in 1998 the line-up we recognise today would come to fruition, becoming famous for songs like “All the Small Things”, “The Rock Show”, “What’s My Age Again?” and “Always”.
But it all began with their formation in the early 1990s and the eventual release of their debut album “The Cheshire Cat” in 1994. They would then go on to release a range of albums right up until their self-titled release in 2003, bringing pop punk to the world with records like “Dude Ranch”, “Enema of the State” and “Take Off Your Pants and Jacket”. During their original career together they would sell tens of millions of albums all over the world and become amongst the most recognisable people in rock, with their singles appearing on radio stations regularly and their videos receiving considerable airplay.
But they went their separate ways after that, all of them working on their own musical projects to varying degrees of success. But by the end of the decade the stage was set for their return as they entered the studio and got to work on what would be their first album since 2003. Fans all over the world rejoiced and the music scene got back one of its favourite rock bands, with venues worldwide preparing to welcome them back to the live setting.
For it is live in which their songs sound their best and where fans can truly appreciate them and this is why lovers of these pop punk pioneers will be quick to get hold of Blink-182 tickets as soon as they become available. By doing so they will be able to witness an energetic live show that few bands could match.
