The California Tour is a concert tour by American rock band Blink-182 in support of the group's seventh studio album, California (2016). The arena and ampitheater will officially begin July 22 in San Diego and conclude October 1 in Los Angeles. Prior to the tour, the group will perform at several festivals, including Amnesia Rockfest, Summerfest, Firefly Music Festival, and more. Support acts include A Day to Remember, and the All-American Rejects and All Time Low on certain dates.
Background
After touring and releasing the band's sixth album Neighborhoods (2011), it became difficult for Blink-182 to record new material, due to guitarist Tom DeLonge's various projects.[1] After disagreements, the remaining members of the group—vocalist/bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker—sought separation from DeLonge and recruited gutiarist Matt Skiba, best known as the frontman of rock band Alkaline Trio, in his place. Blink-182 performed two club shows and a slot at the Musink Tattoo Convention & Music Festival in March 2015 with Skiba "filling in" for DeLonge.[2] Afterwards, they regrouped and recorded the album California with producer John Feldmann.[3]
Following the band's first performances with Skiba in 2015, Barker alluded to a potential tour with A Day to Remember, who supported the band on its three initial shows with Skiba in 2015.[4] The tour was first announced on April 28, 2016 on Los Angeles radio station KROQ's Kevin and Bean.[5]
