Blinks last album is the only one that isnt bollocks.

Haha yeah I knew I was in a minority, I just really didn't like about 70-80% of it

Oh FFS Blink, I can't afford to go to Leeds Festival this year, so now Hayley Williams teases me with a possible Paramore date, and now Delonge and co are claiming they're playing. Looks like I'll have to dig deep..very deep into my bank account. If Shikari are on that line-up too I'll be forking out £185 or whatever it is.

Any news on this?

There'll be nothing until Reading and Leeds have both sold out. It'll be written into their contract.

Not that it ever stops the more unscrupulous bands out there.

CONFIRMED

As well as playing this summer's Reading and Leeds festivals, pop-punk heroes Blink 182 will also play dates in Scotland and Ireland.

Which are as follows:

August
16 Aberdeen, Exhibition Centre
17 Glasgow, SECC
31 Dublin, The O2

On the zone a month ago....

Shame members on an unofficial hardcore band forum aren't official news sources.

by **kappa99** on Wed 07 Apr 2010, 3:06 pm

Still, thats Download, LnR and the Blink tour ahead of "official" transmission. No bad.

by HappySailor69 on Thu 08 Apr 2010, 9:52 pm

So surprised they're not doing a London date.

by **warnerbro** on Thu 08 Apr 2010, 10:05 pm

not a wonder why though. ha kidding.

yeah, fuck. didn't know these had gone on sale till now. all sold out bar seating in aberdeen. i won't be in seats for the 1st time i'm seeing blink. it'll make Leeds more special i suppose.

still really hope what ents24 said about a full uk tour is true.

by Martin on Sat 10 Apr 2010, 2:21 am

All the dates announced are the full European tour mate, no more getting announced. Blink confirmed it themselves somewhere.

by **leeburgess** on Sat 10 Apr 2010, 2:37 am

just got me a standing ticket for Aberdeen anyway.

Who's going which then?

by HappySailor69 on Sat 10 Apr 2010, 1:16 pm

Understand that Scotland gets bypassed all the time, but seriously London, capital city? Not everyone can afford to go to R&L (Well I can Razz

)

So not quite understanding this?

However im seeing them and if I wasn't I'd travel to Scots, (I mean cheap flights an all?)

by **kappa99** on Sat 10 Apr 2010, 1:28 pm

We dont really get bypassed very much at all. Almost everyone comes to Glasgow. Its outwith Glasgow that gets bypassed (dundee, inverness, Aberdeen, usually Edinburgh).

its probably because Glasgow is easy reach from anywhere in the UK, and it has the best music scene in the country, plus all the bands love coming here.

Maybe not with bands you like, but with bands i do SCOTLAND gets bypassed.

All Time Low are supporting, according to some dude on Punktastic.

He asked Alex in a webchat thingy when they were coming back and they said they were gonna be playing some Scottish shows soon - which is pretty specific for a band to announce. If it was a headline run I'd imagine they'd say there was UK dates.

Not too fussed if it turns out to be true. Think I'd have preferred someone else though.
