Blink-182 Forced To Postpone Start Of European Tour

Blink-182 fans in Europe received disappointing news today as the iconic American rock band announced the postponement of the first few dates of their highly-anticipated European arena tour. The tour was originally set to kick off tonight, on September 1st, 2023, in Glasgow, Scotland.

In a heartfelt statement shared on their official social media channels, Blink-182 revealed that the unexpected and unfortunate reason behind the postponement is a family emergency involving their drummer, Travis Barker. Barker had to urgently return to the United States to attend to the family matter.

The band expressed their deep regret for the inconvenience caused to their fans and assured everyone that they are working diligently to reschedule the affected tour dates. Blink-182’s priority is to ensure that fans get the opportunity to see them live in concert once the situation is resolved.

As of now, specific details regarding the rescheduled dates have not been provided. Fans are advised to keep an eye on the band’s official website and social media channels for updates on the new concert dates.

The affected shows that have been postponed are as follows:

  • September 01/02 – Glasgow, Ovo Hydro
  • September 04 – Belfast, SSE Arena
  • September 05 – Dublin, 3Arena
