California natives Blink-182, consisting of guitarist/vocalist Tom Delonge, bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker have been hugely successful in Punk/Rock music since their 1997 album “Dude Ranch” went platinum. They soon started rolling out the hits with songs “All The Small Things,” “What’s My Age Again” and “Adam’s Song” all coming off 1999’s chart topping album Enema of the State. The album sold 4 million copies. More hit records followed and even a brief hiatus occurred in the last decade, but the rockers have since reunited to record and tour and remain as strong as ever.

“The King of Partying” will perform a special DJ set at Black Sabbath’s Mohegan Sun Arena concert on August 8th
It was announced today that Andrew W.K. will be joining Black Sabbath on the band’s upcoming North American Tour. The King of Partying will perform a special DJ set every night, including Mohegan Sun Arena’s August 8th show before the definitive Heavy Metal band takes the stage. Speaking on being chosen for such a prestigious bill, W.K. said:
“I’m just shocked. It’s just the most incredible dream come true! I remember when the phone first rang and they told me that Black Sabbath wanted me to be their exclusive opening act. I was really in a state of disbelief – almost sick with amazement and excitement. It took about 3 days until I fully mastered the reality of this opportunity and realized it was really going to happen. Black Sabbath’s music changed my life, and this tour will change my life all over again. I couldn’t be more thankful or humbled by this one-in-a-billion miracle. What an adventure this will be!”
2013 has certainly been shaping up to be a legendary year for Andrew W.K. Most recently, he joined Punk drumming icon Marky Ramone as the singer for his Blitzkrieg band on a world tour. Performing over 30 fan-favorite tunes per night, Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg kicked off its world tour at W.K.’s own Santos Party House in NYC this spring, followed by a European run. In the months ahead, W.K. and Blitzkrieg will play several European festivals this summer before their U.S. tour dates in the fall.
