Blink 182 have announced that due to issues finishing their new album which they had hoped to have released for the summer and that is now not possible as it’s taking longer than anticipated to finalise meaning the album has been pushed back to  late 2011 release.

This has unfortunately forced the hand of the pop punk giants to pull out of their slot at Oxegen 2011 and announce a NEW tour which will take place in 14 months time. Probably the first gigs announced for 2012 that I’ve seen so far.

To make up for missing Oxegen they have announced dates in The O2,Dublin on June 12th 2012 and The Odyssey Arena, Belfast on June 13th 2012.

Tickets for Dublin will cost €44.20 and Belfast will cost you £38, Tickets are available from Ticketmaster.ie and outlets nationwide and go on sale Thursday 21st April 2011.
