Blink-182 unveil first live dates of 2027 including huge festival headline set
Blink-182 are making up for a quiet 2026 with the announcement of their first live dates of 2027, with headline shows at Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park.
The pop-punk legends will officially top the bill of the twin German festivals next summer from June 4th to 6th.
Both events made the announcement simultaneously on social media, with the somewhat ominous, though overwhelmingly celebratory, message, “They are coming…”
While Rock Am Ring is held at the Nürburgring motorsport complex in Western Germany, Rock Im Park is held in the Zeppelin Field in Nuremberg.
Similar to the UK’s set-up for Reading and Leeds Festival, most artists appear at both festivals across the jam-packed weekend. It will mark Blink-182’s first time at either festival.
2026 has been a quiet year for the pop-punk stalwarts. In February, they played what they stated was their only show of 2026 at the Innings Festival in Tempe, Arizona, though they appeared at a private show for Mercedes in Los Angeles on May 19th.
This year’s Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park will see headline performances from Linkin Park, Iron Maiden, Limp Bizkit, Bad Omens, Papa Roach, and The Offspring. Tom Morello and The Pretty Reckless are also on the bill.
Blink-182’s last major tour, The Missionary Impossible Tour, took place last year and saw them travel across North America from late August through to mid-October, with main support provided by Alkaline Trio.
The band’s last album, One More Time..., was released in 2023 and marked the first Blink-182 release in over a decade from the original trio, consisting of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker.
Though it’s a quiet year on the performance front for the trio, drummer Barker will soon become the subject of the new documentary, Louder Than Fear, released on Disney+ in August. The project will chart his life and career, alongside the 2008 plane crash that almost took his life.
