Blink-182

Thanks to their upbeat, energetic and often humorous songs, blink-182 has been one of the most prominent pop-punk groups since they achieved mainstream success in the late 1990s.

The trio (whose best-known line-up included bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker) stood out from the teen pop and nu-metal that dominated the airwaves, breaking through with their third album, Enema of the State (1999), and going on to score a run of hits accompanied by funny music videos.

The group's popularity helped propel their next album, *Take Off Your Pants and Jacket* (2001), to the top spot on the Billboard 200.

Since then, blink-182 has remained a chart favourite, reaching the Billboard 200 top 10 with albums such as blink-182 (2003), Neighborhoods (2011) and California (2016).

DeLonge left the band in 2015 (replaced by Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio) before making his triumphant return for the album One More Time…, released in 2023. A cathartic, powerful comeback that coincided with the revival of pop-punk.

After a sold-out concert at the Accor Arena in Paris in October 2023, the trio has finally announced their long-awaited return to France with a show that already promises to be memorable at Plenitude Arena on 15 June 2027!
