Blink 182 blast back!
Last week pop-punk kings Blink 182 completed their five-date whirlwind tour of the UK, after almost a six-year absence. Is it good to be back? We joined Mark, Tom and Travis on the road to find out.
Nu-metal may be old news but Fred Durst’s Limp Bizkit still drew a sizeable crowd to the main stage on Sunday. Even more had gathered by the time Blink 182 appeared. The Californian trio, who reached the peak of their powers around the turn of the millennium, seemed a strange choice of headliner. However, finely crafted pop-punk songs such as What’s My Age Again? were greeted with gusto from a crowd more than happy to party like it was 1999.
A slow start but a strong finish.
blink-182 gave an otherwise quite disappointing Reading festival a strong finish according to Thisislondon.co.uk
This is from the Billboard Bits:
Pop-punk trio blink-182 normally offers a series of puerile jokes at their live shows, but singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge raised eyebrows with a context-free crack at President Barack Obama while headlining the U.K.’s Leeds Festival on Saturday (Aug. 28), according to Spinner. DeLonge told the crowd that he was “going to go down on Barack Obama” during a performance of “Anthem Part Two.” The band also cursed off Reading Festival, which took place the previous day (Aug. 27) in the U.K. (Spinner)
Some kind of review of the show yesterday at Reading:
Blink-182 goaded Guns N’ Roses during their Main Stage headline set at Reading Festival tonight (August 29).
Early into their set, frontmen Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppusreferenced Axl Rose and co’s chaotic Friday night set at the event’s southern site.
“I’m sorry you guys missed out onGuns N’ Roses on Friday night,”Hoppus said. “But Tom‘s going to play the intro to ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’.”
DeLonge then attempted to play the song, though after trying he said: “I haven’t practised it! Axl Rose is naked with my dad.”
The band had to warn the audience not to get crushed after playing ‘The Rock Show’, and briefly stopped their set.
Elsewhere, they repeated sections of stage banter from last night’s headline set at Leeds Festival, withDeLonge teasing Jedward and saying he wanted to “go down onBarack Obama“.
With Muse drummer Dominic Howard watching from the side of the stage, the band also said theReading crowd was better thanLeeds‘.
“I’m not saying this because we’re here tonight, but Reading kicks the shit out of Leeds,” said DeLonge.
