The newly reunited Blink-182 has revealed tour dates for their highly anticipated summer reunion tour to Billboard.com.
The tour kicks off in Las Vegas, NV on July 24 and sees the band travel back and forth across North America all the way into October. Joining the band on various nights of the tour will be Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, All-American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, Asher Roth and Chester French. There’s no official word on which bands will be opening on which nights.
Tickets will go on sale on May 30 at livenation.com. As previously reported, lawn tickets will be available for just $20 while the more expensive seats will go for $60.
After their tour of the U.S., the band’s manager says they have received offers to play Australia’s Big Day Out festival along with various European festivals in 2010. "That's what I'm hoping is going to happen," Blink-182’s manager Rick Devoe says. "And in between these tours is when they're going to be working on an album."
Devoe adds that he doesn’t believe the band will be touring North America again until they release their new album which may take longer than normal because of familial obligations the band members now have.
"Everyone has got full lives," he says. "It's a different Blink, in the sense that you have to pick your kids up after school, and one of your kids has dance class and the other kid has this."
As for what fans can expect from the band’s setlist, he says, "The word on the street is that this tour is about the hits. As the rehearsals go by, we're hoping to have at least one new song in the repertoire."
