Yes, no kidding! And hey, it’s not the 1st of April, so boys & girls, this is no hoax! Read on my pretties, read on! :)

Man of mystery, Mister Mark Hoppus FINALLY gives it up with a scan of a clipping of the new Rolling Stones 28th May 2009 issue. It reads as follows…

Summer Tour Guide 2009

Blink-182

July 24th – October

Tickets $20 – $60

Openers Fall Out Boy, Weezer

For their first tour since 2005, Blink-182 are trying a new strategy; rehearsing. “We used to walk onstage and forget our parts – we just wanted to play fast and look cool,” says bassist Mark Hoppus. “This time, we want to be more artistic.”rolling-stones-blink182

The trio’s reunion tour will feature all their pop-punk hits and a few songs, plus they’re planning an intense light show from Daft Punk and Kanye West’s set designer. “We want to use the entire arena as a lighting rig and a stage,” says Hoppus. “We’re being as ambitious as possible.”

So, what do you think of this news? About time?! Still wondering when the rest of the world will get to see them? Yeah, us too! More to the point, the UK?!? Leeds/Reading Festival 2009 we can rule out, but 2010 is still looking good to go, surely! Oh and what do you think about Weezer/FOB opening? Do you even care? I know I don’t! ;)
