Background

The tour marks the band's thirtieth anniversary,[5] and their first tour with original singer and guitarist Tom DeLonge since 2014.[6] It also marks their first-ever shows in Latin America.[7] The band has not played Mexico in any capacity since 2004.[8] Previous efforts to tour worldwide were complicated by Barker's flight anxiety following his 2008 plane crash. Barker flew for the first time since that incident in 2021,[9] enabling the band to set dates across the globe.[10] On March 1, 2023, DeLonge announced on his Instagram that the Latin American dates would be postponed until 2024 due to Barker getting surgery done due a finger injury sustained during rehearsals.[11]

Prior to the start of their tour, the band made a surprise appearance at Coachella on April 14, 2023, marking DeLonge's first appearance with the band in nine years.[12] The band then served as a replacement headliner of the festival's second weekend on April 23 after singer Frank Ocean was forced to back out at the last minute.[13]

Reception

The tour has received positive responses. Selena Fragassi at the Chicago Sun-Times praised the band's "innate chemistry" and the fury of Barker's antics,[14] while Chris Riemenschneider of the Star Tribune acclaimed the musicianship: "Blink really [has] its act together, nostalgia act or not."[15]
