Blink 182 Supports Officially Announced

Yes, the worst kept secret of Soundwave this year has been made official.

You rpobably already know all about this thanks to Soundwave boss AJ Maddah tweeting all about it, but today it has been made official that The Vandals and Sharks will be supporting Blink 182 at their forthcoming Sidewave shows along the east coast of the country.

While the word tasteful isn't necessarily something you associate with Blink 182 (or The Vandals) that much, it must be said that the acts that have been chosen as support offer an enormous amount of value for fans of the band and really seem like the ultimate choices of support acts to be taken from the 2013 Soundwave bill.

The veterans of The Vandals and the relatively new British punks of Sharks will get things warmed up at all four of the pop punk superstars' Sidewave performances.

The dates are as follows and we're guessing there aren't many tickets left!

Wednesday 20 February – Allphones Arena, Sydney - Sold Out!
Friday 22 February – The Marquee RNA Showgrounds, Brisbane Tickets
Tuesday 26 February – Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne - Sold Out!
Wednesday 27 February – Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne Tickets
