The O2

The O2, the world's most popular music and entertainment venue, today announced that All American Rejects will be the main support on Blink 182 dates, along with Four Year Strong, Twin Atlantic and The Blackout.

Following a five year hiatus, pop punk pioneers Blink 182 are set to play a run of UK arena dates, including two shows at The O2 on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 June.

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 and Blink 182, cemented their position as a pop punk supergroup. Additionally, the band have won a number of MTV Awards throughout their career.
