As soon as I arrived to Capital One Arena I was immediately transported back to the 90s. Everyone either had on some sort of Blink t-shirt, flannel shirt or some variation of clothing back when MTV showed music videos. White Reaper started the show off, unfortunately I only caught a couple of songs at the tail end of their set, but were pretty good. Now, Turnstile was amazing! The hardcore punk band hailing from Baltimore, Maryland has been gaining momentum as of late. If you are going to this tour you definitely want to get there early to catch Turnstile. After a brief intermission, the house lights went down and a circle started to form on the large screen, the finished the circle morphed into Blink 182’s logo . The stage lights brighten to reveal Tom Delonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker. From that point it was a solid night of good fun, great music! Don’t forget that the tour is still steamrolling to cities worldwide. Click Here!
