Last Friday, pop-punk icons blink-182 released One More Time, the first studio album in more than a decade to feature all three original members. As is often the case, we now have an upcoming tour bearing the same name as the album, and it’s coming to Fiserv Forum on Aug. 7.
The Milwaukee date comes toward the end of the North American trip, which gets underway June 20 in Orlando and wraps up Aug. 15 in Toronto. Pierce the Veil will open for almost that entire run, including at Fiserv Forum.
The threesome of Mark Hoppus (bass/vocals), Tom DeLonge (guitar/vocals) and Travis Barker (drums) have been together as a band since 1998, with Barker joining just before their breakout third album, Enema of the State. The multi-platinum LP was central to pop-punk’s resurgence, and blink-182 followed it with 2001’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket — their first album to reach the top of Billboard’s chart.
The years since then have been filled with hiatuses, side projects, reunions, breakups and personal challenges, ultimately resulting in the three musicians making nice and — soon after — the new album.
They’ll bring One More Time to town next August, with tickets going on sale in a variety of formats this week. The artist presale starts Tuesday, the Live Nation presale on Thursday and the general sale this Friday. All begin at 10 a.m. You can find more information on the Ticketmaster website.
