Blink-182 Makes Surprise Addition To Coachella 2023 Lineup

Coachella 2023 set times were confirmed and Blink-182 was quietly added to the Friday, April 14 schedule. The performance will be the first by the band’s reunited classic lineup featuring Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker.

DeLonge left Blink-182 in 2015 and Hoppus and Barker recruited Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio as his replacement. DeLonge went on to focus on his Angels & Airwaves project.

Blink-182 had to push back the start of their reunion tour, postponing shows in Mexico and South America that were slated for March and April, after Barker required surgery on an injured finger. Following their appearance at Coachella this weekend, and perhaps again next at the festival’s second weekend, Blink-182’s reunion tour will begin in St. Paul, Minnesota on May 4.

Coachella 2023 takes place in Indio, California April 14 to 16 and again from April 21 to 23. Livestreams will be available, for the first time featuring feeds from all six stages, for both weekends via the Coachella YouTube channel. Livestream performance schedules have yet to be revealed.
