The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Blink-182 has been one of the most prominent pop-punk bands since gaining mainstream success in the early 2000s, thanks to their hooky, high-energy, often humorous songs. The trio (whose best-known lineup featured bassist/singer Mark Hoppus, guitarist/singer Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker) stood out from the teen pop and nu-metal that dominated the airwaves, breaking through with their third album, 1999's Enema of the State, and releasing a steady stream of hits bolstered by tongue-in-cheek music videos. The band's popularity helped propel their follow-up, 2001's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, to number one on the Billboard 200. Since then, blink-182 has remained chart favorites, scoring Top Ten Billboard 200 albums including 2003's blink-182, 2011's Neighborhoods, and 2016's California. DeLonge left the band in 2015 (replaced by Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba), but he ultimately returned for 2023's One More Time…, a cathartic return to form that coincided with pop-punk's resurgence.
