The Honda Civic tour is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year; in fact, blink-182 was on the very first tour. “It’s great to be going back out on the Honda Civic Tour,” Mark Hoppus of blink-182 said in a statement. “We had a blast kicking off the tour ten years ago, and this summer we’ll be taking it to the next level with our friends My Chemical Romance.”
“We are looking forward to heading out on the road this summer with blink-182,” Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance said in the same statement. “The line-up for the Honda Civic Tour over the last decade has featured some great bands, and we’re excited to be a part of it.”

Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, June 10 at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com.
