Blink-182 concert chronology

The California Tour is the current headlining concert tour by American rock band Blink-182 in support of the group's seventh studio album, California (2016). The tour began on July 21, 2016 in San Diego and its first leg concluded October 7, in Irvine, California. Prior to the tour, the group embarked on the We Are Pirates Tour, performing at several festivals and amphitheaters between May and July 2016. Support acts on the California tour included A Day to Remember, and the All-American Rejects and All Time Low on certain dates. The band will embark on an European leg in mid-2017.^[1]

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.^[2] 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.^[3] Afterwards, they regrouped and recorded the album California with producer John Feldmann.^[4]

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.^[5] The tour was first announced on April 28, 2016 on Los Angeles radio station KROQ's Kevin and Bean.^[6] After the North American leg is completed, the group hopes to tour Europe in 2017.^[1]
