Blink-182 at Petco Park – Live Review and Photo Gallery

Blink-182, Petco Park, San Diego, CA., June 30, 2024

Blink-182 has influenced generations of pop punk / alternative rock musicians as well as thrilled music fans since their humble beginning in 1992. And in 2024, the iconic original lineup rages on in an epic way, presenting a powerhouse set of tunes encapsulating an absolutely brilliant career in music. After a standout opening set from local heroes Pierce The Veil, it was time for Blink-182 to take over the stage – and the superb songs and trademark antics reigned supreme throughout the sprawling Petco Park in San Diego.

Opening with the rousing refrains of Feeling This from their 2003 Untitled album and then launching into the anthemic fan favorite The Rock Show, Blink-182 was in top form, and proceeded to deliver the show of a lifetime. For those who say pop punk is dead, you would never know it by the multitudes of fans singing along and rocking it hard throughout the entire performance.

Classics such as Stay Together For The Kids, What’s My Age Again, and All The Small Things were delivered, the timeless selections received rapturously by the audience. Surprises would include snippets of songs from the Box Car Racer and +44 catalogs as well as a mischievous rendition of Taylor Swift’s We Are Never Getting Back Together.

The return of Tom DeLonge has been very well received, and what a stunning grand finale it was to hear the title track of One More Time performed live! Dedicated to the legacy that is Blink and the return of the much-revered trio, One More Time was a powerful way to conclude a wild and wonderful night of music under the stars. Thank you to Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker for the music and memories – and here’s to a whole lot more of Blink-182 in the many years to come!

Also thanks to Live Nation for presenting such memorable events in the San Diego area and beyond!
