Blink-182 are heading on the road with Weezer and Fall Out Boy.
The tour cements the reunion of Blink-182 following the near-death of experience of drummer Travis Barker who came close to losing his life in a plane crash last year.As well as Weezer and Fall Out Boy, the tour will feature at various stages Panic At The Disco, All American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, Chester Frence and Asher Roth.
The other great news for fans is tickets are just 20 bucks.
"We can't wait to get out on tour this summer.” said Mark Hoppus in a statement. “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!"
Fallout Boy are big fans of Blink-182 and looking forward to the show. "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.
The tour will kick off in Las Vegas on July 24, 2009.
