blink-182 announce epic tour with Lil Wayne, Neck Deep–UPDATED

UPDATE: MAY 6, 2019, 12:06 P.M. EST

blink-182 and Lil Wayne confirmed the tour with a short mashup of “What’s My Age Again?” and “A Milli.” Check it out below. General on-sale begins Friday at 12 p.m. local time here.

Neck Deep also shared the tour, explaining how monumental of a moment it is for them.

“This is really, truly a thing that is happening. Never thought we’d get to say this: WE ARE DOING AN ARENA TOUR IN THE U.S ALL SUMMER LONG WITH @blink182 & @LilTunechi Tickets & info: http://smarturl.it/blink182tour

Blink is one of THE reasons that we got into alternative music and that our band even exists, so to say this is a dream come true is understatement to the max….”

Frontman Ben Barlow also shared a statement in a press release.

“Being on this tour with Blink is nothing less than a dream come true,” he says. “They were the first band I fell in love with. I’ve seen them live multiple times and been wrapped up in the madness of the crowd. To now be on the other side of that, playing to that crowd… it’s just surreal. This is an opportunity we’ve always dreamed of and we’re gonna take it by the horns and make the most of every moment. We may have something special up our sleeves for this tour so keep an eye out for that, and we will see you on the road!”

ORIGINAL STORY: MAY 6, 2019, 10:55 A.M. EST

We’re quickly approaching the summer months, and as a result, we’ve been watching and waiting (and commiserating) for any blink-182 news.

It looks like the band have finally announced a summer run as venues on the run began dropping information. While many may be surprised by the lineup, Reddit users already had it figured out earlier this week. However, we now have confirmation of an epic tour with blink, Lil Wayne and Neck Deep.

A couple of days ago, Travis Barker shared a photo of a December 2006 Complex magazine cover where he posed alongside Lil Wayne. He shared it with the caption, “This throwback ? @complex @liltunechi.”

The post was all Reddit needed to self-confirm an already speculated tour. As if that wasn’t enough, the side-eye emoji that first appeared on Barker’s post began popping up everywhere, and blink wiped their Instagram clean.

Now, venues and local outlets along the run began posting their individual dates.

Ticketmaster also started posting dates including Bangor, Maine. A screenshot of Live Nation’s press release has also surfaced, stating tickets go on sale this week.

An ad mat is also making the rounds, which you can see below.

With the hope of new music and the promise of a new album this summer, this tour just makes it even more epic.

The new dates join their already busy festival season, which includes a confirmed appearance at Warped Tour‘s 25th anniversary stop in Atlantic City (for which more tickets were just released). They also promised a return to Riot Fest this year after having to cancel last year’s set.

The band will also be hitting Good Morning America July 19 for a live performance.
