Blink-182 Taking Weezer On Summer 2009 Tour 3c52ef51 - Buzznet Blink-182 Taking Weezer On Summer 2009 Tour
Pop-punk demigods
Blink-182 are planning to take
Weezer on the road as their main supporting act when they hit the concert circuit this summer, an informed source has revealed to Buzznet. Though the tour schedule has not been made public, the pairing of two hugely creative (and funny) bands is likely to make their tour one of the must-see events of the year.
Of course, Blink fans have been on cloud nine since the band re-united on the Grammy Awards and announced they would not only tour but release new music. Their comeback will be part of action-packed 90's-flavored summer lineup that also includes the return of
No Doubt. (In a departure from Blink's apparent plan to take out some fellow elder statesmen, No Doubt is opting to feature a younger band —
Paramore, you've heard of them? — as their opener).
The question of how Blink would shape their tour has been a hot topic among fans for weeks.
Speculation about a pairing with Weezer has been building online, but according to our source, it's now a done deal.
Blink's Mark Hoppus stoked fan excitement himself when he released a picture of the band's possible setlist through Twitter. The image seems to represent merely possible ideas but it was enough to spark conversation. Barely a week ago, Hoppus revealed to his 180,000+ Twitter followers that one
Pete Wentz had jumped into the fray and requested that Blink include "Stay Together For The Kids" on their setlist. (Hoppus says they will).
We have just two questions:
Who ELSE should be considered to join the Blink tour? And is Weezer really likely to go over well with Blink's audience?
