Confirmation of Blink 182 rumour?

Speculation over a hotly rumoured appearance at Leeds 2010 by Blink 182 was fuelled when Travis Barker made a comment to MTV.

Although it has been rumoured within our Leeds 2010 Rumours on our site since 2009, Travis Barker’s comment yesterday to MTV seems to be the surest sign yet that Blink 182 may be appearing at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

Travis was quoted as saying: “We go to Europe in August for all the festivals.”

Speculation has now intensified that this hint indicates the band will be playing at Leeds Festival this August Bank Holiday weekend (festival dates are August 27th-29th 2010).

While the Official line up announcement has not yet taken place keep visiting our site for the latest news and gossip.

What do you think? Do you think Blink 182 will play at Leeds given Travis’ comment this week?

    Blink OneHundredandEightyTwo. :D

  7. soph says:

    oasis are shit and they’ve split up, why the fuck would they headline leeds/reading 2010?
    BLINK ALL THE WAY!

  8. baRRy boRRis says:

    I was massively pissed that Blink weren’t at Leeds last year though if they play this year I think it will make up for if. For the oasis people; we all know they won’t get back together on the principla thy Liam and Noel HATE EACH OTHER :/

    Apparently their new album should be released in 2010 sometime so they may even play some new stuff :P

  9. Roo says:

    Went to see blink on their US tour in West Palm Beach, Florida last September and anyone who says blink can’t play live can go swivel. Seen them 5 times and been my favourite band for a good 10 years, missed them at Leeds last time so gooo onnnn it would be intense. Perfect summer band for the best summer festival!!

    oh yeh… Fuck Oasis :) pussies.

    peaacceee x

  10. JimRigby says:

    I used to be huge fan of Blink back in the day, but I’m just pre warning everyone who hasn’t seen them before – Tom Delonge cannot perform live. If you hated his whiney voice on record, you most certainly won’t like it live…

  11. Corey says:

    Oasis are blatently not getting back together for leeds, possibly a solo act from either but who cares

    BLINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. Ayame says:

    WANT TO SEE BLINK :D

  13. Katy says:

    Ugh Oasis.

    BLINK!!!! :D <3
    I really REALLY hope they get confirmed, will be GUTTED otherwise.

  14. Tesss says:

    omgomgomgomg BLINKKK. welllll excited, i started loving them like a month before they split, was wellll gutted!!! but sooo excited about this year, the rumours look awesome.
    and people who want oasis, get over it, their done. Also, go to a different festival like glastonbury, and stop trying to make leeds an indie fest like last year. SOAD and Lostprophets ftw XD.

  15. Cait says:

    Heya guys…
    i think its almost certain that they will be playing ..
    well i got told by a very good mate (his mum has something to do with the festival) that Blink 182 are confirmed to headline reading and leeds this year and also Lostprophets are confirmed to play aswell
    but thats all i know :)

    much love to you alll :) x

  16. Tarran says:

    If I buy tickets and Blink aren’t there I’ll not be pleased. I went all the way to Florida to see them last year, fucking amazing! I think the date say they will do Leeds, and also i wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t play pukklepop in belgium as the surprise band

  17. Neil Hamilton says:

    Blink me up…also want papa roach n limp bizkit there!!!

  18. Jed says:

    :D :D blink 182 need to return to leeds (:

  19. will says:

    i agree BLINK ftw………i also hear 3 headliners are LINKIN PARK (FRIDAY) BLINK (SATURDAY) GREEN DAY (SUNDAY) if this is the case i’ll show my face at Leeds for the second time…….LAST YEARS LINE UP WAS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Durkin says:

    Interesting stuff! This rumour has been floating around for so long that I wish it would just get confirmed! :)

    I think they would be a great addition to the line-up!

  21. SIE says:

    Saw blink at leeds fest 2003 and they were AWESOME! Bring them back i say!!!!!!!

  22. Jordan says:

    I have waited so long to see blink, I remember I had a chance to see them on their last UK tour in manchester and I passed which was a big mistake. I think it’s obvious that blink will be playing leeds, and I will NOT miss them this time rest assured.

  23. Bex says:

    OASIS…over BLINK 182??? FFS get real!!! Blink all the way <3 <3 <3

  24. Siobhan says:

    THEY HAVE TO BE THERE AS GOOD AS LEEDS IS MANY BLINK FANS WILL BE SLIGHTLY DISSAPPOINTED IF THERE NOT ……GET THEM THERE

  25. Bliiiiiiiiink! says:

    If Blink do play it would be fucking insane.

  26. dbh says:

    WOULD CREAM IN MY PANTS IF THEY HEADLINED!!! AMAZING BAND THAT CANNOT BE TOPPED!

    For blink haters: why would you waste your time to go onto a blink thread and exclaim that they suck and you want oasis to reform (definitly not going to happen!) you’re sad..go bore an oasis thread by asking what your favourite colour of the rainbow is..

  27. Dave says:

    It would seem very unlikely that Blink will not play this year as they have said they are doing festival appearances in Europe and have already confirmed for several other festivals. Being such a big name they will certainly headline one of the three nights, I don’t really see how anyone would think otherwise, but I don’t think they will be the main headlining band

  28. charlotte says:

    aaaaaaaaaargh <3 <3 <3

  29. Brad Thomas says:

    I hope they do, i love them!!! :)

  30. Sean alexander says:

    A band who have sold 30,000,000 albums are overated?

    just……..sh

  31. Scott says:

    Lets be honest oasis is never going to happen, wouldnt want it to happen either! And quite excited for Blink 182 but seriously cant have both greenday and blink playing just become over run by emos! I think foo fighters will headline one night aswell! :)

  32. Aaron says:

    my faviorite band of all time, im gonna go sick at leeds this year <3 if you dont like them theres still two other days 2 and most of another day full of other bands so go watch somebody else as your not being told to wach them. Peace, Tom DeLonge watch out for my dick coming your way

  33. Jipp says:

    Blink 182 should burn in the fires of hell
    BURN BURN YES YA GONNA BURN

  34. davelms says:

    If they do end up playing I also don’t think they will headline.

    Just to re-state to everyone that this is only a rumour. The official announcement hasn’t yet taken place.

  35. Jipp says:

    I really don’t! As people have mentioned they are highly overrated – They are most likely to headline the festival but if they were I’d put them as support to the headline – there are so many better bands out there!
    I want Oasis to reform and play the Friday, Soundgarden on the Saturday and SOAD on the Sunday! Now that would be special!

  36. kirst says:

    I hope they do. highly overrated?? i don’t think so. Fucking amazing? YES!
    they will be playing!!!! GOD DAMN BLINK ARE BACK!!!!!!
    FUCK YEAH!!!

    Leeds festival here i come!!!!!

  37. Dan says:

    Sure hope they don’t come. Mainly because they suck and are hugely overrated, and also because that would mean one less _good_ headliner. -.-

  38. tringster says:

    fucking amazing i really hope blink are playing this would make my year

  39. Aimee says:

    Always wanted to see Blink when they were together but never got to, and I was a bit gutted when they split :/
    So I think it would be awesome if they played! :D and I reckon they will do ^^

    Cannot waittt for Leeds 2010, BRING IT ON XD

  40. matt says:

    come on you ball bags it will be ace if blink play and if ya think there shit don’t go then!!!!! ARSE FACE

  41. Chris says:

    OMG!! Blink are amazing! Anyone know any news on Green Day going to Leeds this year? thanks :D

  42. qki182 says:

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MY DREAM IS COMING TRUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All you people who say they shouldnt play, or you hope they dont play….. FUCK OFF AND DIEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  43. liam says:

    Shit band, i also hope they dont play Leeds

  44. lewis says:

    i hope they dont headline leeds 2010. OASISSS

  45. Elly says:

    I’d so LOL if you was wrong I hope they don’t play Leeds

  46. emma says:

    i think they will WITHOUT A DOUBT play leeds this year. i mean come people think about it, they have just announced festival dates for the 22nd of august (in germany) and the 4th of september (in italy). Therefore they are not going to fly back to america in that short amount of time so therefore the most logical thing is that they will play leeds and reading in between those two dates…

    to say i am fucking excited is an understatement :D
