Last night (Friday April 14), pop punk legends Blink-182 made their return to the stage for the first time since guitarist Tom Delonge officially returned to the fold back in October. The trio, completed by bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker, made a surprise appearance at US mega-festival Coachella, having only announced that they were playing a few days prior.
Playing a hits-stacked, 18-song set in front of a delighted crowd in the hazy evening Californian sunshine, the threesome's show also marked the band's first public performance since Mark Hoppus' cancer battle in 2021. As well as playing hallmark anthems such as The Rock Show, Feeling This, First Date, What's My Age Again, All The Small Things and I Miss You, Blink also gave a live debut to new song Edging, and dusted off Aliens Exist from 1999's smash hit album Enema Of The State - the first time the band has played the track live with Delonge in over two decades.
