fuck, I need to go to this. I haven't listened to blink in forever. I really need to get floor seats. Saddledome is the fucking worst concert place.

kick ass

Im excited for Blink 182 and Matt and Kim. MCR, not so much. That's just all around happy music. I wish FL was getting Against Me! and Rancid.

* means no MCR, sorry guys

I never really liked MCR that much anyways.

Ugh. I feel like this is going to be the Billy Talent tour all over again. Shitty sets and awful fans.

AM! plays New Wave / White Crosses hits and keep it short, Rancid will end up doing something similar, and then Blink will get the majority of the time on stage.

The worst part will probably be the clash between the different fans. Ugh.

yeah, i doubt your going to get a 17 song opening set like DKM tour.

Yeah, I was a bit disapointed on the Billy Talent tour. We got nothing from ATEC, which bummed me out. That and how I didn't get floor seats, So I was in the seat filled with 14 year old Billy Talent fans and their parents. For blink 182, it's going to have to be floor seats. I hope I can get some, and hope they aren't bloody expensive.

Spoiler:

Well, my brother and I discussed going to the Seattle show, seeing as how Blink is his favorite band and all. We might just have to go to the Vancouver BC one instead now haha.

I imagine it will be like the Silversun Pickups tour last year. Short set, and all White Crosses besides 2 or 3 songs. Bummed me out so hard.

Shitty. Fuck the Saddledome. I will probably not go.


(Unless tickets are under 40 dollars and I get floor seats. Doubtful.)

Fuck, that rules them out for Reading.

Sounds like I'll be making a road trip to Saskatoon... I could do without blink as the headliner as I only own dude ranch and throw on enema once in awhile for nostalgia's sake, but I loved them when I was 12 atleast?
I've always wanted to see Rancid though and am stoked for them and AM! as always... cheers for summer shows!

I'd be pumped for Rancid and Against Me if it was anywhere around me, but I hate blink. Tom sounds like a choking guinea pig.

But since when is Rancid playing together again. It has been almost a year since any news came from that band. Any news on new material? or just this?

Lars has a new band called The Old Firm Casuals and they released an EP. As for Rancid, I don't think they're making new stuff now, but that's not a bad thing.

I love Rancid. I love everything Rancid has ever done. Tim Armstrong is quite the poet. LTDF is kind of a step down, but i enjoy listening to it. I like them a lot. What is not to like?

I hate to be bratty, but blink 182 sucks live. They talk more than they play, and they're not funny.

What do you mean by that?

Blink 182 is fucking high if they think I'm paying 90 fucking dollars to see them

I paid it to pretty much go watch the opening acts.

i saw blink 182 year and a half ago with weezer, one of the best shows i have ever been too. I was a few feet from the stage, fucking awesome. If i had been far away in the stands it would have sucked.

agreed. saw them on their summer tour a year or two ago. hard to justify paying so much for a ticket in the pit, but well worth it.

I'm tempted to go see them in Winnipeg.
