Blink-182 has pushed its European summer tour dates back to 2012 in order to finish recording its first album in eight years, the band announced today on its website.
"It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce our planned 2011 European summer tour has been rescheduled," bandmates Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker said in a statement. "When we booked the tour last year, we were confident that we would have the new album out before the summer. Turns out we were mistaken as the album is taking longer than we thought and won't be out till later this year."
I'm glad Blink and No Doubt are waiting until later this year to release. Let the pop acts continue to get their spring releases out of the way so they get their fair share of attention.
