The Most Anticipated Music Event of the Year! 

In October 2022, the multi-platinum, award-winning group blink-182 made waves with the announcement of their largest tour to date. The monumental global outing saw Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker reuniting for the first time in nearly a decade. Adding to the excitement, the band releasing their new single “Edging,” marking their triumphant return to the studio together after a ten-year hiatus.

The buzz surrounding blink-182’s tour reached fever pitch as fans eagerly awaited their chance to witness the iconic pop-punk band in action. This all unfolded over four electrifying nights at Qudos Bank Arena on 16, 17, 23, and 24 February 2024, which was nothing short of legendary.

blink-182’s last performance at Qudos Bank Arena was in February 2013 which left an indelible mark on audiences, drawing over 15,000 enthusiastic fans and generating box office sales totalling 1.5 million dollars. This year ticket sales for their four Sydney shows surpassed their 2013 show with over 65,000 tickets sold and box office sales exceeds over 8 million dollars. 

Steve Hevern, General Manager of Qudos Bank Arena states that, “the Arena hasn’t seen four sold-out shows since pre-COVID, which was during P!nk concerts in August 2018. We’re excited to collaborate with Live Nation Australasia once more to present four memorable blink-182 performances, marking another significant milestone for the Arena”. 

Selling out four shows at Qudos Bank Arena marks a significant achievement, highlighting blink-182’s enduring popularity and appeal. Fans experienced an unforgettable experience as the band delivered their trademark mix of high-energy performances and chart-topping hits.
