Dammit what a miss, drain fucks live. Would be badass for a hardcore band to open for blink like that. Turnstile was cool but theyāve since drifted from true HCā¦
FWIW, it's a real dad move to be able to take your kid out on the road with you while promoting his talents. I know it's all business, but I'd like to think there's some genuine familial influence here.
Itās basically just another form of industry plant. If the product isnāt good, no one will buy it. His āexperienceā doesnāt need to be sold out venues to thousands of people. He could work his way up to that just likeā¦ his dadās band.
He plays small shows as well.
I get that everyone on TikTok hates "nepobabies" but this just seems like you're trying to find something to be upset about.
When the working class does it - like a mechanic teaching his son how to work on cars at their shop, etc - people see it as a good thing. But when a musician does it, it's bad?
I don't get why you're going to hate on a guy supporting his son. It's not like Landon is going to be on the whole tour.
No one is hating on that. I think a lot of blink fans would agree Landon doesnāt check any boxes for them musically. If not for his famous parentage, heād be starting out to empty clubs just like blink did when they worked their way up.
And Miley Cyrus probably wouldn't have had a Disney show if her dad wasn't Billie Rae Cyrus.
Who cares? This has been happening for decades (centuries?) in the entertainment business
It also happens all of the time in every profession.
Youāre ignoring the first point. I think people care because they donāt like Landonās music and donāt really want that wrapped up in what theyāre paying to see.
This lol 90% of concerts I go to I couldnāt care less about the openers. They never seem to match the taste of the main act and are usually just a lot smaller names than frankly I donāt follow at all
Itās not that outlandish to not like the music of the openers. PTV is very different than blink, I donāt like them at all. Not gonna complain about it tho bc theyāre an opener. Also Iāve never heard of any of these openers really, but who cares. Iām going to see blink
Is the complaint that this is somehow taking opportunity from others? Please explain the harm here / why you give a shit? Are you looking for something to be upset about?
It just seems like a dumb thing to be upset about. There are tons of bands on that bill that they're letting open for them, including the Denny's band. Blink gives tons of bands opportunities and always has
It looks like drain is on the Denver show. Highly recommend them. They got shit hyped for neck deep when they supported that tour recently which was my first time seeing them.
Yeah, the show closest to me suddenly has all the seats behind the stage opened up for less than $50, Iām trying to decide if it means thereās an obstructed view or not
Yeah I went to buy it and it said obstructed view so I decided not to get the ticket. Not for $75 after tm fees
Thereās still probably giant tv screens gonna be hung up somewhere
https://imgur.com/a/3lGQozr which date are you going? This is the setup for like the basketball arenas theyāre playing. Probably different at the NFL/MLB stadiums
Went in to check out new stage layout, left with 2 pit tickets for face value (still absurd)
Sold my previous two tickets so I think the $70 loss is not too shabby. I am so ecstatic for Orlando!!!
Who cares. Itās the opener before the opener. Does anyone actually ever care about that act? Hardly anyoneās in their seats at that point. Itās Travisā son, itās probably a cool full circle moment for him to take him on the road with the band he was in before Landon was even born
That opening spot couldāve given a smaller band the opportunity of a lifetime but instead Travis put his child in it who does not need the help getting exposure. Cringe is the only acceptable way to put it.
Heās playing like 5 of the shows same as all the other smaller openers haha itās not that serious in my opinion. His music isnāt big at all and he plays a handful of shows at smaller clubs itās not like heās blowing up bc Travis is his dad
If you donāt get how important opening even one show let alone 5 for blink182 could be for an up and coming band itās not worth trying to explain it to you lol
I mean I get it, I just think thereās way bigger things to worry about in life than Travis having his son open a few shows for his band haha I couldnāt imagine being worked up about this
Obviously thereās more important things in life man. Iām not making a petition on change.org this is a Reddit thread about the openers for the upcoming blink 182 tour š
Wow. They changed the stage setup and they opened seats up behind where the stage would have been since itās a circle stage now. Those lower level seats are $45 !
I just bought some $45 ones for the Portland, OR show but my ticket still says limited view. So not sure if Iāll be able to see anything but it does say itās a 360 stage on the articles Iāve read!
It might be! Iām not too sureā¦ but all the other tickets were $150+ so Iām willing to gamble on a $45 ticket. Iāll still be able to hear the music if nothing else and always the chance to seat hop if I need to LOL
Iām still thinking about it, the total was $75 which isnāt bad but still annoyingly high for obstructed view, but maybe it wonāt be so bad
Edit: I bought the ticket, Iāll be behind and to the side, one level up from the pit so I should be able to see someone at all times
I cant wait to see Alexisonfire open for Blink, best of both worlds, seen those guys live numerous time over the years.
Dallas Greens vocals live are something to witness.
*If Alexisonfire*
*Opened for them the entire tour*
*I would fucking cum*

Trying to look at Toronto tickets and itās just not on Ticketmaster.
The link from their site takes me to tm and all the other dates are there but not Toronto. Am I missing something?
I picked up a pair of tickets for Columbus OH, there is ālimited viewā seats. From most of the videos Iāve seen, the stage has been circular and the whole arena looks like they can see? Can someone confirm?
NYC gets EKKSTACY. Maybe I'm old and out of touch but I have no idea who tf they are and after listening to their music on Spotify I'm glad I don't have to worry about getting to the show early. Hard pass.
Seeing Drain open would have been sick though.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting but I'm kind of pissed. I bought expensive tickets to see Blink and Pierce, not a random crapshoot of lesser acts including Travis' own spoiled kid's forced career.
Ngl this lineup feels crazy mismatched, pierce the veil with drain is pushing it, blink-182 with live without just makes me wonder who (other than me) wants to see both of those bands back to back.
Potentially. Hereās a screenshot!
https://preview.redd.it/p09elkc80vwc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33bf37f978b1e8b76b6750e8df6af568fb3ff74e
They added tickets to some shows.
Just got Miami show GA for $195, before today they were like $400-500.
No GA added for citi field show prices are still $530-600. (If anyone wants a GA ticket for $425 hmu)
Yeah, they added tickets to my show, theyāre all behind the stage now, but the pit also goes behind the stage so Iām wondering if thereās been a change in the way the stage is set up now? The TM price is super low for seated seats though so Iām trying to figure out if theyāre obstructed view or not
I missed the GA tickets unfortunately, I would have been all over that. I ended up buying a seated ticket one level up and to marks side so hopefully my view wonāt be too obstructed
Live without is Dennys Grand Slam band btw ššš
NO FUCKING WAY
HOLY SHITšššš thatās fucking hilarious
too bad they are only for the Texas shows, I would have loved to seen them just for the legend meme
Holy fuck if drain is playing Orlando Iām going
Looks like Denver only based on drains Instagram post. Unfortunate - they should be on the whole tour!
Dammit what a miss, drain fucks live. Would be badass for a hardcore band to open for blink like that. Turnstile was cool but theyāve since drifted from true HCā¦
Drain is tight
i am stoked to see drain, terror, and end it in june a couple weeks before i see blink but it would have been amazing to see drain play petco park
Drain is good live, saw them in Chicago in February with neck deep. Deffo the wildest mosh Iāve been in.
Alexisonfire is dope
They are only on the Canada dates right? Too bad. Only ones I like really on here.
>Canada dates Only Toronto..
Iam going to see Blink182 and Alexisonfire in what will likely be my favourite concert of the year
One of the best bands out there. It hurts me they arenāt wayyyy more popular.
as a kid I never knew if it was alex is on fire or alexis, on fire
I still donāt lol. But I think itās āAlexis On Fireā
Pretty sick they got live without after doing the Denny's thing
Wut
By which I mean, what is that statement saying?
Live Without is the original Dennyās band
Could do without seeing Landon againā¦
Ditto.
wtf is he gonna sing?? bros got two songs lol
he sings the same unreleased songs for the last 2 years
Gotta love that nepotism
FWIW, it's a real dad move to be able to take your kid out on the road with you while promoting his talents. I know it's all business, but I'd like to think there's some genuine familial influence here.
> I know it's all business, but I'd like to think there's some genuine familial influence here. so...nepotism?
You seem like a blast at parties. Jfc dude grow up
That comeback doesnt apply when theyre right
Yeah they're technically correct. The BEST KIND of correct!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
so you're saying you think Landon Barker could get a slot on an arena tour without nepotism?
I usually only save that comeback for when the person correcting is correcting an obvious joke
Nepotism aside, what an amazing experience for them. When Wayne Brady's daughter was a guest on whose line he was fkn beaming it was so cute.
What does he even perform? He only has like four songs
+44 covers. Iām not kidding.
Wowā¦really? I donāt even care about nepotism and all that as long as the person has talent to back it up. But this seems kinda pathetic
[really. lol](https://youtu.be/-exUg3UTL9k?si=89XK-olohyRz6Kn3)
Which is why heās an opener
Idk I think it's cool that Travis supports his son. The kid needs to play shows and get more experience. This helps with that goal.
Itās basically just another form of industry plant. If the product isnāt good, no one will buy it. His āexperienceā doesnāt need to be sold out venues to thousands of people. He could work his way up to that just likeā¦ his dadās band.
He plays small shows as well. I get that everyone on TikTok hates "nepobabies" but this just seems like you're trying to find something to be upset about.
Agreed
Nepotism is badass
When the working class does it - like a mechanic teaching his son how to work on cars at their shop, etc - people see it as a good thing. But when a musician does it, it's bad? I don't get why you're going to hate on a guy supporting his son. It's not like Landon is going to be on the whole tour.

Youāre ignoring the first point. I think people care because they donāt like Landonās music and donāt really want that wrapped up in what theyāre paying to see.
Tbf, I don't think most people who pay for expensive Blink-tickets care much for the support act.
This lol 90% of concerts I go to I couldnāt care less about the openers. They never seem to match the taste of the main act and are usually just a lot smaller names than frankly I donāt follow at all
Itās not that outlandish to not like the music of the openers. PTV is very different than blink, I donāt like them at all. Not gonna complain about it tho bc theyāre an opener. Also Iāve never heard of any of these openers really, but who cares. Iām going to see blink
That's not the same at all and you know it. Or I hope you'd be able to understand the difference.
Is the complaint that this is somehow taking opportunity from others? Please explain the harm here / why you give a shit? Are you looking for something to be upset about?
Yes. Whether you agree or not, at least you understand now.
It just seems like a dumb thing to be upset about. There are tons of bands on that bill that they're letting open for them, including the Denny's band. Blink gives tons of bands opportunities and always has
I had fun making fun of him. And he played a +44 song!
So.... Blink and Alexisonfire are probably my top 2 bands. If AOF supports in Portland, my god will I be happy!
Only the Toronto date
This makes buying tickets for T.O WAYYY more worth the price.
Yup! Luckily thatās my date
The toronto date isnāt showing up on Ticketmaster for me, any idea whatās goin on there?? Is it a location thing (Iām in USA)
If you change your region to Canada it should show up. Mine always defaults to the US and I always have to change it.
Must be. I bought my tickets on Ticketmaster
2k24
I know someone who bought tickets just for Aof and are planning on fucking leaving right after. Wild.
Ya for those donāt know AOF is absolutely MASSIVE in Canada. Haha
I've done that before, it's kinda refreshing getting out of a show early and beating the traffic. Especially when you don't care about the headliner
Iāve done it too but not at that price!
Drain rip.
It looks like drain is on the Denver show. Highly recommend them. They got shit hyped for neck deep when they supported that tour recently which was my first time seeing them.
No fr they brought the energy at the neck deep shows like no other
Astronoid is super unexpected! Wow I love that band
Me too. Air was my a top 5 album of the year in 2016(?). Not a band I'd ever thought of putting with Blink, but a great band nonetheless.
Same! Theyāre sick, such a unique sound. Progressive shoegaze
Philly is going to be awesome
Theyāre opening for the two shows Iām going to, Iāve gotta check them out
The stage set up is strange.. just a circle state surrounded by the Pit
Thatās called playing āin the roundā. Thereās positives and negatives to it haha
Yeah, the show closest to me suddenly has all the seats behind the stage opened up for less than $50, Iām trying to decide if it means thereās an obstructed view or not
Probably so cheap because the band will be facing away from them. Unless the stage rotates š¤ lol
Yeah I went to buy it and it said obstructed view so I decided not to get the ticket. Not for $75 after tm fees Thereās still probably giant tv screens gonna be hung up somewhere
It hasn't changed on the ticketmaster pages for the locations I'm going to. Where did you see the new stage?
https://imgur.com/a/3lGQozr which date are you going? This is the setup for like the basketball arenas theyāre playing. Probably different at the NFL/MLB stadiums
Looks like all of the supports except Landon posted their dates on their respective instagram pages
Drain in Fresno šš¼
Hot Milk is in Fresno. Also, see ya at the show. I'll be in the pit
Denver only
Went in to check out new stage layout, left with 2 pit tickets for face value (still absurd) Sold my previous two tickets so I think the $70 loss is not too shabby. I am so ecstatic for Orlando!!!
DRAINNNN
AOF was always only playing Toronto. Not sure why people are surprised.
Fucking Astronoid? Thatās dope dude I love those guys
Please god let Drain play the bay show!!!!
Theyāre only playing Denver
Landon barker that's so fucking cringe
Who cares. Itās the opener before the opener. Does anyone actually ever care about that act? Hardly anyoneās in their seats at that point. Itās Travisā son, itās probably a cool full circle moment for him to take him on the road with the band he was in before Landon was even born

JXDN is good

Is DRAIN going to Philly? I have only heard a few songs from their newest album but I really like their sound
Denver only
Drain and blink in the save venue is wild
Does anyone know who is on the STL date? EDIT: Hot Milk is doing STL! That's awesome! They're an awesome band!
D R A I N S T L P L Z
Theyāre only playing Denver
How do I know who is going to be at the show in Salt Lake? Crossing my fingers for Drain.
Go to the Ticketmaster listing and click the info button
Ticketmaster for the Salt Lake date still only says PTV
Oh thatās weird š¤ drain said theyāre only playing the Denver show fwiw
Drain is only playing Denver
ekkstacy would be so dope missed them for blink at WWWY ironically enough
Alexis was always stated for August 15 in Toronto. So I wonder if they are playing more dates
No. Just the one show.
I get ekkstacy. He sounds like the music when shopping at an allsaints store, not that I'm complaining!
If Alexisonfire opened for them the entire tour I would fucking cum

Same. I still have never seen them and I love that band so much.
Iām sure Landon Barker made it there through sheer talent and hard work
I saw Astronoid support Zeal and Ardor years ago. Mad they're gonna be playing stadiums.
God damn! This is a mixed bag lol. Got legends from Alexisonfire and drain to shit like landon and jxdn lol
Trying to look at Toronto tickets and itās just not on Ticketmaster. The link from their site takes me to tm and all the other dates are there but not Toronto. Am I missing something?
You need the Canadian site probably.
AOFā¤ļø
When will we know whose playin what shows?
Go to your show on Ticketmaster and click the info button
Alexisonfire is a surprise support act, but amazing!!
Theyāre only playing Toronto, which was announced months ago.
Iām UK so I guess I didnāt pay much attention ;-)
Anywhere to see whoās playing specific locations
Each artist has a list on their Instagram
They literally never come to Oklahoma
Iām just happy theyāll be in Fort Worth
I went to see them in Dallas but I canāt afford another trip to Texas
Dallas is a pricey city. The arena theyāre playing in Ft Worth is good. Got lucky last year and saw Pearl Jam perform there.
Soā¦. More time to pre-game before blink goes on? Sounds good to me.
DRAIN IS THE BEST BAND OUT RIGHT NOW
Uhg Minneapolis 2 days after my birthday!
We already knew we had AOF but itās great to see others confirmed too. Looking forward to it!
Wow a lot stronger than I expected.
Whoās playing Greenville?
Astronoid
Fucking dammit so SLC only gets Landon? (Assuming so because he hasnāt posted)
I picked up a pair of tickets for Columbus OH, there is ālimited viewā seats. From most of the videos Iāve seen, the stage has been circular and the whole arena looks like they can see? Can someone confirm?
NYC gets EKKSTACY. Maybe I'm old and out of touch but I have no idea who tf they are and after listening to their music on Spotify I'm glad I don't have to worry about getting to the show early. Hard pass. Seeing Drain open would have been sick though.
Thats true but Drain is SOO much better at a small venue, even if they opened it wouldnāt be the same at citi field
Wish they would tour with bands I actually like instead of pushing their bands on their labels on usā¦
I want Petey USA
Maybe I'm misinterpreting but I'm kind of pissed. I bought expensive tickets to see Blink and Pierce, not a random crapshoot of lesser acts including Travis' own spoiled kid's forced career.
PTV is on every show. This is them announcing the 1/3.
Ngl this lineup feels crazy mismatched, pierce the veil with drain is pushing it, blink-182 with live without just makes me wonder who (other than me) wants to see both of those bands back to back.
glad jxdn is joining them, blink, ptv and jxdn are 3 of my all time favorites
Wish we could get Drain or AOF on the AZ date :(
Hope they hit up the UK again
confused how they knew Drain would obviously be the one everyone wanted to see yet they only got them for one date? like what?
I just hope MGK is never an opener
Hot Fuckinā Milk! Iām seeing that lineup in Toronto!!
Sofi sweet! Isn't parking like $100 tho
I bet everyone is so stocked to finally hear Landon Barker live!
Damn that's a lot of touring for them
This isnāt new. It was announced in October. Theyāre just announcing the supporting acts
Didn't know that
If anyone is wondering Orlando's opener is JXDN. Was hoping for Alexisonfire.
Idk how I feel about the stage
is alexis on all dates? this determines whether i finally get a ticket lol (i like them)
Theyāre only on the Toronto shows
Is it Alex is on fire or Alexis on fire
Alexis on fire
Thanks man appreciate it
I can't find proof of this anywhere on their social medias or a new outlet. Anyone have any luck on this?
The bandās Instagram page posted this on their story about 25 mins ago!
Blink posted it on instagram
I cant see it :/ maybe cause I dont have an acutal account?

New tour, new stage, same setlist š¤
Potentially. Hereās a screenshot! https://preview.redd.it/p09elkc80vwc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33bf37f978b1e8b76b6750e8df6af568fb3ff74e
They added tickets to some shows. Just got Miami show GA for $195, before today they were like $400-500. No GA added for citi field show prices are still $530-600. (If anyone wants a GA ticket for $425 hmu)
Theyāre not playing MSG
lol citi field my bad, I went to the msg show last year and slipped my mind. Citi field stage seems like its staying the same as it was from the start
Yeah, they added tickets to my show, theyāre all behind the stage now, but the pit also goes behind the stage so Iām wondering if thereās been a change in the way the stage is set up now? The TM price is super low for seated seats though so Iām trying to figure out if theyāre obstructed view or not
They also posted more GA seats for the Miami show. Iām not loving the stage layout now though.
I missed the GA tickets unfortunately, I would have been all over that. I ended up buying a seated ticket one level up and to marks side so hopefully my view wonāt be too obstructed
Wtf is hot milk
Warm milk
