As we previously announced, the rumour mill was a spinnin' that '90s pop punk luminaries Blink-182 would be bringing Weezer with them on their upcoming reunion tour. We now have confirmation, as well as a tour itinerary, but it comes with some bad news. Weezer will not be supporting on all dates, only some. The rest will include support from a revolving cast of hit and miss noobs like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, All-American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, Asher Roth and Chester French. So not '90s.
Still, the event should prove to be quite a spectacle, as the band have hired Daft Punk/Kanye stage designer Martin Phillips to create what bassist Mark Hoppus calls "the most ridiculous display of lights and images we can imagine." The massive string of dates includes Canadian stops in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Quebec City, Montreal and Toronto, but no word on which openers will be appearing where.
Besides the tour, Blink-182 are also working on new material for an album they plan to record when they finish up the live dates. In other words, get your cargo shorts and shell necklaces ready because the '90s are back for good.
