Blink-182 Add Extra Date To Aussie Tour

Blink-182 have added a fifth and final Melbourne show for their upcoming Australian tour due to unprecedented demand.

The US pop-punk icons are now hitting Australia for a whopping 15-date tour, with the band coming down under for the first time since Soundwave 2013 (and a few 20^th anniversary headline dates).

Blink-182’s Australia and New Zealand tour announcement has met with phenomenal demand, resulting in multiple new shows and sell-outs across the country. A fifth and final date has been added for Melbourne on Thursday, 29 February 2024 – resulting in a total of five shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena throughout February.

Keen punters have two pre-sale options available to attend the new show, including the Vodafone pre-sale which begins on Wednesday, 14 June at noon. The pre-sale will last 48 hours. The Live Nation pre-sale starts on Friday, 16 June, at 1 pm and concludes on Monday, 19 June at 11 am. You can find the full tour dates below.

In April, blink-182 were added to the Coachella line-up just days ahead of the mega two-weekend festival. The surprise addition to the festival resulted in the first time the classic lineup of Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and Tom DeLonge performed together in nine years.

Blink-182’s Coachella weekend one set was packed with crass NSFW banter, Mark Hoppus looking happier than ever, and a trip down nostalgia lane.

On weekend two, blink-182 were named the replacement headliner for Frank Ocean after the enigmatic R&B star put on a controversial weekend one performance that involved coming on stage late and playing a short set as he hit curfew.

A statement to Variety then revealed that Ocean had suffered “two fractures and a sprain in his left leg,” making it impossible for him to headline weekend two. You can check out blink-182’s Coachella headline set here.
