The band has dates at The Pearl Concert Theatre in Las Vegas this weekend as well as the following weekend as well as weekends in October, September and November. 

On May 31 it was announced the band would not be able to make its scheduled appearance at Bunbury Festival in Cincinnati as well as dates in Windsor, Canada, although it was promised that Blink would perform at Bunbury 2019 and Windsor dates were rescheduled. 

Blink-182 was recently added as headliners to Riot Fest in Chicago, which takes place Sept. 14-16 where they share the bill with Beck, Elvis Costello, Incubus and many others. 

The band has done a few festivals this year as well as headline dates and festivals in 2017, and last toured heavily in 2016 when finishing at No. 39 on Pollstar’s Top 200 North American Year End Tours, with $28.9 million grossed.

It is unclear if any other dates will be affected. Pollstar has reached out to the band’s representatives.
