Travis Barker, Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus, better known as blink-182, have announced a summer tour which is the first-ever national tour to offer lawn tickets at a $20 all-inclusive price (including parking!) for each amphitheater show. The Live Nation produced tour kicks off on July 24 in Las Vegas, NV, and culminates October 3 at the Borgata in Atlantic City.
Tickets are available at livenation.com beginning May 30.
In addition to the hit-filled headlining blink-182 set, the tour will feature a full package of support acts such as Fall Out Boy, Weezer, Panic at the Disco, the All-American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, Chester French and Asher Roth. The band chose to feature support acts that were mutual friends, along with some exciting new artists.
Says blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus: “We can't wait to get out on tour this summer. 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!”
MySpace Music will support the tour by promoting pre-sale tickets through the company’s new ticketing hub at myspace.com/concerttickets. The band will provide MySpace fans with exclusive videos and tour diaries throughout the summer on their official MySpace Music profile at myspace.com/blink182, thus allowing fans to connect and share in their experiences.
