From His Blog:
Yes indeed!! I have been asked to announce that blink-182 are once again heading back over “the pond”
for a few weeks of touring in Europe during the summer of 2010. Exact dates and schedules are going to be released over the next couple of months by the promoters, as well as on blink182.com and our other affiliated sites. We’re very excited to get back on the road overseas this next year. See you at the shows!!
Blink-182’s reunion tour has been a runaway success, and not just because they’ve proven that they haven’t lost a step.
No, it’s the reaction they’ve gotten from fans, who have flocked to the shows en masse, selling out arenas across North America and snapping up merchandise with reckless abandon. To be honest, Blink are a little blown away by it all. See, when they first announced they were hitting the road again, they had no idea how fans would react — or even if they still had fans.
“When we booked this tour, we had no expectation of anything. We didn’t know if people were going to come to the shows, if they weren’t, if anybody still cared about Blink, for that matter,” bassist Mark Hoppus laughed. “We knew some people were still excited about it. We were definitely excited about it, but, um, our booking agent was just, like, losing his mind for three months straight, booking this tour, and then tickets went on sale, and all these shows sold out in an hour, two hours, a day, and everyone’s jaw dropped.”
It’s not much of a stretch to say Blink are having the time of their lives on tour — Hoppus described it as “a really great summer-camp celebration, with all your friends and really good vibes” — which is why they’re in no hurry to end it. They’ve just added another show to the schedule (a massive October 4 gig at New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden with Fall Out Boy), and they’ve already got their next move planned out too.
For the first time in nearly six years, they’ll be touring Europe, Hoppus revealed to MTV News on Tuesday (August 11). Dates are still being hammered out, but Blink are most definitely heading back across the Atlantic in 2010.
“The rest of the year, with Blink-182? We will go and continue the recording the process, [and] something I can tell you that nobody else knows is that we are working out details of a European tour at some point, coming up,” he said. “All three of us have agreed to go over to Europe in the next year, so we’re going to start planning that out. … It’s going to be a busy rest of the year, for sure”

The free tickets may already be snapped up for Virgin Mobile’s FreeFest, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still get in free.
You just have to work for it.In an unusual charity-benefit twist, promoters for the day-long music festival Aug. 30 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md., set aside 3,000 more tickets as rewards to fans willing to volunteer time for the homeless.
SUMMER CONCERTS: Check our calendar
Thirteen hours of service at select homeless organizations gets a VIP pass; eight hours earns general admission. (Volunteering details will be posted today on virginmobilefestival.com.) And those who already have tickets are being asked to donate $5.

“Social giving is at an all-time low,” says Virgin Mobile USA’s Ron Faris. “There are 2 million young people out there ages 12 to 24 who are homeless. So we’re willing to eat the cost of a $100 ticket, if people can just donate $5 to help homeless youth organizations that have been decimated by this economy.”Other concerts this recession-ravaged summer have looked for innovative and economical ways to fill seats. Rothbury and Bonnaroo festivals enticed fans with layaway plans. LiveNation offers four-packs (buy three tickets, get one free). No Doubt ticket buyers get free downloads.
But the 17-band concert, headlined by Weezer, Blink-182, Franz Ferdinand and Public Enemy, is one of the rare major music fests to go completely free.
“Free gets more publicity for Virgin and the bands,” says Pollstar editor in chief Gary Bongiovanni. “From the band’s perspective, Merriweather is a great place to play, the fans are appreciative of the free tickets, and that goodwill will transfer to the bands’ performances. And the charity component should be commended. Virgin didn’t have to add that.”
The 35,000 “free” tickets went “on sale” Saturday and disappeared immediately.
“The idea of a FreeFest that focuses on helping other people on such a massive scale, especially in this economy, is very ambitious,” Blink-182 singer Tom Delonge says. “My other band, Angels & Airwaves, did a thing in New York City where we had kids do community service to get into our show.”
“My fiancée worked in mental health for years, and homelessness can happen to anyone,” says Cam Muncey of Australian rock group JET. “Just because someone has hit a hard patch doesn’t mean they should be forgotten.”
Can music fans look forward to more free festivals? “This kind of gesture isn’t going to be replicated anytime soon,” Bongiovanni says. “After all, not many people can write a check that big except for (Virgin founder) Sir Richard Branson.”
