Blink 182 have rescheduled their UK tour and as a result their Motorpoint Arena concert, originally scheduled for the 7th July 2011 will now take place on Sunday 17th June 2012.

MARK, TOM & TRAVIS have this message for their fans: It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce our planned 2011 European Summer tour has been rescheduled.  When we booked the tour last year, we were confident that we would have the new album out before the Summer. Turns out we were mistaken as the album is taking longer than we thought and won't be out till later this year.  We hoped we would have some new songs to play rather than do another 'greatest hits tour' which you all saw last Summer.  As much as we know our fans would be cool with that, we feel that we owe you guys something new when you spend your money to come see us. Frankly, it's what needs to continue for us to remain vital.  The three of us are working very hard to do what we set out to do when we re-formed...get a new blink-182 album recorded.  Apologies to all of our fans who have bought tickets and were looking forward to the Summer shows but we'll be back soon with the rescheduled dates in Summer 2012, have a new album out and be able to play new songs for you all. Thanks for all of the continued support and understanding.

Following a 5 year hiatus, breaking the merchandise sales record at Reading & Leeds Festivals this year and sold out shows in Scotland and Eire in August, Pop punk pioneers Blink 182, have confirmed a run of UK arena dates next summer – their first UK headlining Arena tour in over 7 years.

Blink 182 were formed in San Diego in 1992 by Mark Hoppus and Tom De Longe and later joined by drummer Travis Barker. The bands breakthrough album, Enema Of The State, was released in 1999 and went on to sell in excess of 15 million copies worldwide.  Their next two albums, Take Off Your Pants And Jacket (2001) and  blink 182 (2003) cemented their position as a pop punk supergroup.  Additionally the band have won a number of MTV Awards throughout their career.

With support from All American Rejects.
