Blink-182 have announced a US amphitheater tour, with Alkaline Trio in support.
The choice of support act is significant because Alkaline Trio's frontman Matt Skiba fronted Blink-182 during founder member Tom DeLonge's time away from the band, co-writing two albums with the group, 2016's California, and 2019's Nine.
The trio's most recent album, 2023's One More Time…, is the first Blink-182 album in over a decade with the group's 'classic' line-up.
The Missionary Impossible tour will launch at Hollywood Hard Rock Live in Florida on August 28, and close on October 4 at the Palm Desert Acrisure Arena in California, taking in some festival shows en route.

Mark Hoppus's autobiography Fahrenheit-182: A Memoir is published today, April 7, and next month, on May 5, the vocalist/bassist is hosting An Evening With Mark Hoppus and All Things Fahrenheit-182 at the Savoy Theatre in London.
The publisher's synopsis for his book states: “This is a story of what happens when an angst-ridden kid who grew up in the desert experiences his parents' bitter divorce, moves around the country, switches identities from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meets his best friend who just so happens to be his musical soulmate.
“A memoir that paints a vivid picture of what it was like to grow up in the 1980s as a latchkey kid hooked on punk rock, skateboards, and MTV; Mark Hoppus shares how he came of age and forms one of the biggest bands of his generation.“
Threaded through with the very human story of a constant battle with anxiety and Mark's public battle and triumph over cancer, Fahrenheit-182 is a delight for fans and also a funny, smart, and relatable memoir for anyone who has wanted to quit but kept going.”
