Thanks to the sleuthing of an FLer (thanks andy_chalmers_102!), we now know that punk hitmakers Blink-182 are being courted by Big Day Out for next January’s tour. Speaking with Billboard, band manager Rick Devoe revealed Blink’s plans for the year ahead.

After a mammoth run of shows across America alongside Fall Out Boy and Weezer, the lads have had “offers” to play Big Day Out 2010 and other European music festivals. From the comments of their manager, it seems likely they’ll sign on the dotted line. “That’s what I’m hoping is going to happen,” Devoe told Billboard. “And in between these tours is when they’re going to be working on an album.”

Blink-182 has been on hiatus for four years, while the band members pursued other projects. Their 50-date arena tour across the US is offering options for punters feeling the financial pinch. – œLawn tickets’ will be made available for a flat charge of US$20.

The trio last played Big Day Out in 2000 alongside Nine Inch Nails, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters. It would be quite a coup to get them back a decade later. Blink-182 is the second BDO possible to crop up in the last week, with Brooklyn four-piece Grizzly Bear revealing to FL that they’ll be here in January for “a festival that moves from city to city”.

Stay tuned to FasterLouder for updates!

the first two weezer records are great and are up there with the early dcfc and superchunk records as my favorite records ever but even green was patchy they could have recovered if rivers swallowed his pride and got matt back in for more than just one show.

Not close enough -_- perhaps the stage will collapse at BDO? If we're lucky it'll happen repeatedly, BDO lineups suck more than the bands' names.

With your track record of interpretation and just general ineptitude, you are just being yourself again.
You wouldn't be able to find 5 examples of me vermently hating anything. It's not as if I create threads just to hate bands.

Ok now this is an unprovoked hater...

Fuck, I hate Kasabian.
That Fire song is atrocious, almost as bad as that Shoot The Runner bullshit.

I remember seeing Blink with bands like downtime and especially pennywise many years ago as an under-ager around the Cheshire Cat times.. They have certainly changed and I haven't seen them since those days. I think I'd like to go if they do come to Oz.

Somehow you've already managed to turn the Blink-182 fans against you, despite defending Blink-182. That's a bit of a worry for you.

Napoleon Solo

Napoleon Solo said on the 22nd May, 2009

Vent time.
Early era Blink Fans were not born in the 90's, I was just old enough to think they were hot shit and I'm 1981. I told kids at school to call me Ben Wah Balls while thinking I was awesome for it.
The last two gigs I saw of Blink 182 didn't even feel like Blink shows.
Blink 182 needs more Scott.

lineofbestfit

lineofbestfit said on the 23rd May, 2009

only time i am probably going to agree with you, went to the show in 2004 for sparta and they were just dull & uninspired. compared to the last time i saw them in 1997 with unwritten law and caustic soda/bodyjar i think.

and then they never returned, livid used to have great bands like superchunk, weezer, the lasat few livids were pretty bad especially the last one with white stripes.

Blinks alright, dude ranch is still a great album cause it was sorta relevant to where they were at age wise.

after that it was a little much to hear a 25+ dude singing about highschool crush's etc

WRONG

Cheshire Cat, moron.

andy_chalmers_102

andy_chalmers_102 said on the 24th May, 2009

Nah, Cheshire Cat just took the best songs from Buddha and added slightly more production sparkle. The only really decent non-Buddha song from Cheshire Cat is M+M's.

dkos

dkos said on the 24th May, 2009

Best argument ever!

Piko

Piko said on the 24th May, 2009

I see a hole in his argument "Cheshire Cat took the best off Buddha" then added M+M's? What doesnt make that a better album? Its Buddha without the crud, with its own crud plus M+M's which is a non crud addition?

That is from my logic process, I think blink are ewww, i liked M+M's but i guess.

andy_chalmers_102

andy_chalmers_102 said on the 24th May, 2009

My point was that all the Cheshire Cat songs that aren't on Buddha (besides M+M's) aren't very good, while there were several decent songs from Buddha that were left off Cheshire Cat.

Piko

Piko said on the 24th May, 2009

xept there was NO production sparkle to buddha at all.

seriously, dude. blink were never THAT great. they made fun pop-punk music with a refreshing dose of immature, pre-pubescent humour. if we were discussing a rough, patchy album by someone like The Cure or Bjork then i might understand the nostalgia behind it. but it ain't nothing special. it sounds like a very scrappy demo, which is what it is.

you're not cool because you say it's their best record.
