'Well, I guess this is growing up.'
Blink-182, perform on stage during the KROQ Weenie Roast on June 19, 1999, at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre in Irvine, Calif.On their breakout 1997 single"Dammit," iconic pop-punk band Blink-182 opined on their impending adulthood with an immortal lyric,"Well, I guess this is growing up." Decades later, they've settled into the ultimate grown-up band activity: a reunion tour.
The 2023 world tour — which will make two stops in Northern California — was announced in classic Blink-182 fashion with a crude YouTube video. In the late '90s, Blink-182 were one of the most ubiquitous bands in the country, known for raunchy music videos and lyrics that mixed heart-on-sleeve introspection with a prankster spirit. After hugely popular albums"Enema of the State" and"Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" , the band lost momentum, going through several periods of extended hiatus.

In the meantime, the founding members ended up on wildly different trajectories over the past couple decades. Guitarist Tom DeLonge turned into a UFO obsessive, bassist Mark Hoppus battled lymphoma and Travis Barker became one of the most in-demand drummers in rock music, cementing his superstar status by marrying a Kardashian.
