News has just broken that Blink-182 have been forced to postpone their 2011 European Summer tour. Blink-182's UK dates have now been rescheduled for June and July 2012.
The announcment came shortly after 4pm (GMT) via a Twitter message and an official statement on Blink-182's website. The statement read:
“From Mark. Tom & 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 we re-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. The rescheduled dates are on our website (www.blink182.com) and are listed below.
NEW UK/IRISH DATES ADDED: Onsale date is Thursday 21st April 2011
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 so much. 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.”
