Yesterday we played the Highfield Festival here in Germany.  As is typical at these summer festivals, the event is held in a large field.  The day before we got there it had rained and flooded, forcing a near-cancellation of the entire show on our day.  But the show must go on, and the rain stopped, leaving a huge field of mud.  One bus got stuck.  A big-rig truck got stuck.  Then yesterday we arrived to sunny skies and mud.  Until showtime.  About an hour before we took the stage, a huge storm moved in with rain, wind, and lightning.  The band before us had to stop for a while for those in charge to assess the situation.  Rain, lightning, wind, lights, electricity, generators, sound gear, and a large metal-framed stage can be an uncooperative combination.  But everyone stuck around, the storm passed, and we had a super fun show.  Thanks to everyone who stayed through the rain and wind.  I hope you had as much fun as we did. Now a day off in Hamburg.  After four shows in a row in large dirty fields, our crew is enjoying a well-desereved break before continuing onwards… Here are some photos from yesterday, BEFORE the storm moved in.

Five years ago the joke was wearing thin for Blink-182 – the band that coupled melodic punk and schoolboy humour – and the members couldn’t look at one another. Then, spurred on by their producer’s death, they made up and reformed. So they’ve grown up? Not quite, Mark Hoppus tells TONY CLAYTON-LEA

IT’S TIME, people, to trade in your Jasper Conran slacks, Gucci loafers and Paul Smith tops for cut-off jeans, sweaty T-shirts and Converse runners – Blink-182 are back. Yes, the band that popularised the combining of schoolboy humour with melodic, sandblasted punk-pop have, following a nasty spat, shaken hands, kissed and made up. Reformed? Only in a manner of speaking.

“I can’t remember a time in my life when there wasn’t Blink-182, in some major way,” says bass player Mark Hoppus, taking time to talk backstage in Glasgow’s cavernous SECC during their successful European tour. He is reminiscing about the early days, and how the past 20 years have gone by in, well, a blink. Continue reading…
