Blink-182 and Lil Wayne announce North American co-headlining tour
A co-headlining tour is typically built off the appeal of seeing two genrically similar acts on one exciting bill. This summer will see a number of such shows around North America, from the ’90s nostalgia of Bush and +Live+, to the indie glory of Deerhunter and Dirty Projects, to the legendary hip-hop of Mary J. Blige and Nas. But one tour is bucking the whole idea that a co-headlining trek has to feature aurally homogeneous performers, as Blink-182 and Lil Wayne are teaming up for a summer tour.
Of course, the joint journey isn’t entirely left-field; Blink’s Travis Barker brought Tunechi on for his 2011 solo album Give the Drummer Some, and Weezy is known to be a fan of the skate-punk lifestyle to which many Blink fans relate.

The North American jaunt will take up the bulk of the season, stretching from a June 27th gig in Columbus, Ohio to a September 18th show in Camden, New Jersey. The punk-pop luminaries and rap icon will traverse much of the country between those shows, with stops in Hartford, Virginia Beach, Charlotte, Tampa, Atlanta, Austin, Phoenix, Portland, Denver, and Detroit also on the schedule.
Unfortunately, Wayne won’t be joining the Enema of the State boys at every date, as he’ll be absent from shows in Toronto, El Paso, Wichita, Council Bluffs, and Holmdel. Welsh pop punks Neck Deep will provide support at all the shows, however
Find the complete itinerary below. Tickets go on sale May 10th at 12:00 p.m. local time via LiveNation, after which you can check the secondary market on StubHub.
To coincide with today’s tour announcement, Blink-182 and Wayne have debuted a mashup of “What’s My Age Again?” and “A Milli”.
