Although formed in 1992, the band Blink 182 had never played in Brazil until this Friday (22), when he performed on the first day of the Lollapalooza 2024 festival.
With jokes between the members and performances of classic hits the group did not care about the rain that occurred during the performance at the festival, as well as the crowded audience He also didn't care much about the weather and sang each of the band's songs in an atmosphere of nostalgia.
For fans eagerly awaiting their performance after the cancellation of Lollapalooza 2023, Blink-182 performed their classics “I Miss You”, “All The Small Things” and “Whats My Age Again”.
The band's most recent album, “One More Time”, was also featured in the song “Dance With Me”.
During the show, the group members also played games with each other. Mark Hoppus, vocalist, asked “congratulations to Tom for not leaving the band”. Tom DeLonge returned to Blink-182 in 2022 after leaving the band in 2015 because he wanted to “focus on other activities outside of the music business.”
At another point in the show, Mark even played with the band Beatles. “Blink-182 is better than the Beatles. Who the hell were the Beatles?”
After an hour and a half performance, the group left the Budweiser stage with Tom DeLonge in tears of emotion.
