Blink-182 Across The Pond

Blink-182 is touring in support of its seventh studio album, California, which was released in July. The LP marks the first with vocalist/bassist Matt Skiba, who took over for Tom DeLonge.

A review from Rolling Stone’s Jon Dolan declares: “Skiba wisely doesn’t try to fill DeLonge’s shoes, throwing in some earnest vocals and generally riding along as Hoppus’ assist man. But if DeLonge’s pencil-necked pique is missed, this is still the catchiest music they’ve made since 2001’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, a feast of ‘summer, yo!’ riffs and petulant ‘na-na-na’ refrains.”

The U.K. excursion begins July 3 in Cardiff, Wales.
