Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker, collectively known as Blink 182 will be kicking off their comeback tour this July 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It seems that ordinary fans are not the only ones excited about Blink’s reunion. According to MTV News, Pete Wentz of Fallout Boy, one of the bands to join the tour, said that Blink 182 going on the road once again is dreams come true. More than that, it turns out the Wentz is also a big Blink 182 fan. In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, he said that Blink 182 is one of the reasons he wanted to be in a band.
"Pretty much since this band started, we had a list of bands we wanted to meet and hang out with. Blink-182 was at the top of that list,” said Wentz. He added, "To be touring together this summer is a dream come true for us. Not just as a band, but as fans and friends too."
Since the band’s four-year ling hiatus, the guys have been busy with other projects. Tom Delonge Airwaves and Angels started making songs during Blink’s downtime, Mark Hoppus did some gigs with his former band, +44, and Mark Travis still maintained a very active role in the industry. Now that they are back together and ready to make fresh post-hardcore tunes, we can expect that Blink 182 will break new grounds in the rock music scene.
