The One More Time... Tour was a concert tour by American rock band Blink-182. [1] As opposed to the band's extensive World Tour 2023/2024, this domestic tour was in support of the band's ninth studio album, One More Time... (2023). The band played thirty shows across North America in mid-2024, at stadiums and arenas, alongside main support from Pierce the Veil, [2] as well as Astronoid, Drain, jxdn, Landon Barker, Hot Milk, Live Without, EKKSTACY, and Alexisonfire on select dates. [3] The tour also included festival stops at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Ocean City Calling.
The tour was the first time the band has played in the round; [4] the circular stage design was shaped after the band's signature smiley logo. [5]
Osvaldo Espino of the Miami New Times called the trio "one of the most in-demand live acts" of 2024, and wrote that "It felt like a victory lap for a group that has gone through so much together [...] Simply put, Blink-182 has never sounded better." [5] Their sold-out hometown at Petco Park in San Diego was well-received by George Varga from the San Diego Union-Tribune : "Very few veteran bands these days dare to include so many songs from their newest album, let alone a pop-punk band bringing its pyrotechnics-punctuated stadium show to a finish with a contemplative ballad about the frailty of life." [6]
The Arizona Republic 's Ed Masley called the trio "older, wiser, more reflective" in person. [7] Kevin Slane from Boston.com said the three "turn[ed] the home of the Red Sox into a raucous, fireworks-filled sing-along." [8] Their Lollapalooza set was well-received; [9] "their set captured what keeps Blink-182 popular more than 30 years on," wrote Nina Cocoran of Rolling Stone . [10] Gabriel Saulog from Billboard concurred: "With the awe-struck nature of the crowd, the group has ultimately proven that they’ve still got it — and are unlikely to lose their magnanimous spark." [11] A negative review from a student paper, critiquing the gig as "cringe-worthy and repulsive," [12] went viral, [13] prompting DeLonge to mock it: "I love this band," he wrote. [14] Selena Fragassi from the Chicago Sun-Times offered a rebuttal:
Not that anyone took offense — to any of it. If you don’t have fun at a Blink-182 show, then you’re just doing it wrong. The trio has had a whole lifeline built around youthful nostalgia and just plain irreverence for anything serious. We have enough of that to deal with in our daily lives anyway, so why not take 90 minutes off? [15]
This set list is from the concert on June 20, 2024 in Orlando, Florida. It is not intended to represent all shows from the tour. [16] Notably, this tour marks the first time the band has incorporated any songs from its side projects, including +44 and Box Car Racer. [17]

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is the fourth studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on June 12, 2001, by MCA Records. The band had spent much of the previous year traveling and supporting their previous album Enema of the State (1999), which launched their mainstream career. The album's title is a tongue-in-cheek pun on male masturbation, and its cover art has icons for each member of the trio: an airplane, a pair of pants, and a jacket. It is the band's final release through MCA.
"The Rock Show" is a song by American rock band Blink-182 for the group's fourth studio album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001). It was released as the lead single from the album on May 7, 2001.

It was inspired by the band's early days touring punk rock clubs, mainly Soma in their hometown of San Diego.

In addition, their reputation as an irreverent local live act at venues such as SOMA alerted the label, who was seeking to expand into different genres.
The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show is a live album by American rock band Blink-182. It was released on November 7, 2000, by MCA Records. Blink-182 had risen to fame at the turn of the millennium on the strength of its third album, Enema of the State, which went multiplatinum. Capturing the band's stage show—known for its irreverent humor—with a live release was designed to satisfy fans between new studio albums. The album was recorded over two nights at performances in their native California, on the group's inaugural arena tour.

The group consisted of vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker of Blink-182, lead guitarist Shane Gallagher of The Nervous Return, and rhythm guitarist Craig Fairbaugh of Mercy Killers. Hoppus and Barker created +44 shortly after the initial 2005 breakup of blink-182 and before it was later reformed. The band's name refers to the international dialing code of the United Kingdom, the country where the duo first discussed the project. Early recordings were largely electronic in nature, and featured vocals by Carol Heller, formerly of the all-girl punk quartet Get the Girl.

Though their sound has diversified throughout their career, their musical style, described as pop-punk, blends catchy pop melodies with fast-paced punk rock. Their lyrics primarily focus on relationships, adolescent frustration, and maturity—or lack thereof. The group emerged from a suburban, Southern California skate punk scene and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent humor.

After touring and releasing the band's sixth album, Neighborhoods (2011), it became difficult for the trio to record new material due to DeLonge's other projects.
