All-American Rejects to support Blink 182?

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by aubin on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at 2:00 PM (EDT)

All American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter is hinting that his band may be providing support for Blink 182's forthcoming reunion tour. In a MTV interview he noted:

We will be going out with a nondescript band that is rumored to be reuniting. That's about all we can say about that,But it's going to be a big deal, and everybody's going to be there, so, 'Hey,' in advance. There's at least three [people in the band]... I think it's a ska band, so it might be 20. I don't know, It's not Sum-41. They're on hiatus.

The other band rumoured to be on the bill is Weezer.

Don't do that. Just go to the show late if you don't like the first band.

I won't go to this unless Weezer is playing.

Not true.

For one, Blink isn't rumored. It's offical. And two, they are in no way ska in any sort.

How did Blink 182 land Weezer while Green Day has The Bravery opening for them? I can't wait for the Good Charlotte tour with The Pixies opening.

I thought it was Kaiser Chiefs?

Report

kevgren (May 12, 2009)

Kaiser Chiefs are doing some of the dates, Franz Ferdinand are doing others. I like both of those choices. But The Bravery are doing the first part of the tour, and they're opening the Philly show.

Report

dX927 (May 12, 2009)

I think all 3 are terrible choices.

Ok guys here's the deal:

The All American Rejects are a great choice for a supporting act! As much as I like weezer (they are awesome, i know!), and from what I hear, they are confirmed, the All American Rejects would be an AWESOME bonus for Blink!
