Blink-182 Turn 20, Announce 37-Date Birthday Tour

Cue the “What’s my age again?” jokes: Blink-182 have been a band for 20 years as of 2012! Feel old yet? To celebrate — and to promote their first studio album in eight years, last year’s Neighborhood — the Cali trio have announced a 37-date North American/European tour (via Consequence of Sound and Punknews).

The threesome we’ve watched run around naked for two decades made their comeback last year after going on hiatus in 2003 after releasing their self-titled LP). Considering it sold 151,000 copies its first week (coming in at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, behind J. Cole), and their 40-date billing last year with My Chemical Romance on the Honda Civic Tour (during which SPIN interviewed Tom DeLonge backstage in New Jersey), it’s safe to say that these 37 dates are probably going to do awfully well for the pop-punk pioneers. Well enough, perhaps, to even distract Travis Barker from that dick pics lawsuit that, erm, came up last month.
