Performing live in the Arena on May 18th
Multi-platinum selling, #1-charting rockers Blink-182 announced several tour dates in May surrounding the group’s co-headlining of The Bamboozle Festival 2012. They will perform live with special guest The All American Rejects on Friday, May 18th at 8:00pm at Mohegan Sun Arena.

The most recent video from 2011’s Neighborhoods, Blink-182’s first new album in eight years which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, is for the hit single “After Midnight.” Says singer bassist Mark Hoppus of the video: “We wanted something that was a little troubled because the song is a troubled love song. Isaac (Rentz, the director) came up with this idea of a guy and a girl trapped inside of an insane asylum. They find one another, they escape themselves for the evening and they have a night of reckless romance before they get put back into their cells.”
Hoppus, guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker reunited in 2009 after a tumultuous four-year hiatus. Neighborhoods marks Blink-182’s sixth studio effort, following three consecutive platinum-plus albums.
