Blink-182 Postpone All Dates

You'll have to wait until summer 2012 to see them - all arena shows have been bumped back a full year, and their festival appearances have been cancelled. All new dates are here...

This sucks: Blink-182 have announced all of their summer performances won't happen... until next year. The reason given was that working on a new album has taken longer than expected. All the new dates are below... and is it just us or does it leave a gap for Download 2012? You heard it here first, etc.

As we revealed earlier this year, the band said they wouldn't tour unless they had a new record to play - and this disappointing news seems to confirm that.

The statement reads:

"FROM MARK, TOM AND TRAVIS: It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce our planned 2011 European Summer tour has been rescheduled. When we booked the tour last year, we were confident that we would have the new album out before the Summer. Turns out we were mistaken as the album is taking longer than we thought and won't be out till later this year. We hoped we would have some new songs to play rather than do another 'greatest hits tour' which you all saw last summer. As much as we know our fans would be cool with that, we feel that we owe you guys something new when you spend your money to come see us. Frankly, it's what needs to continue for us to remain vital.

"The three of us are working very hard to do what we set out to do when were-formed...get a new Blink-182 album recorded. Apologies to all of our fans who have bought tickets and were looking forward to the Summer shows but we'll be back soon with the rescheduled dates in summer 2012, have a new album out and be able to play new songs for you all. Thanks for all of the continued support and understanding.

"For those of you who hoped to see the us at Oxegen and T In The Park festivals this year, we're very sorry that we won’t be there as we were looking forward to playing them somuch. However, we’ve added Dublin,Belfast and Glasgow arena dates listed below onto next summer’s tour so we can see our Irish and Scottish fans."
