\"\"For some Blink-182<\/strong>’s return to Nottingham has been a long time coming, over eighteen months to be exact but nevertheless the legendary pop punk trio have finally returned.<\/p>\n

12 months overdue, Mark, Tom and Travis have brought a different set of support acts and for many including us, missed out on The Blackout’s opening slot. However by the time The All-American Rejects<\/strong> come on, the arena is packed and having recently released their fourth album ‘Kids In The Street’<\/em> you may have thought the Oklahoma band would of provided a set which heavily\u00a0borrowed\u00a0from it, however they take a slightly safer route with a set focusing on the “hits.” From ‘Dirty Little Secret’<\/em> to ‘Swing, Swing’<\/em> to the closing ‘Gives You Hell,’<\/em> its clear the Rejects have an arsenal of crowd-pleasing numbers in their back catalogue, whilst new songs display their admirable attempt of developing their sound; ‘Walk Over Me’<\/em> is a stomping rock number filled with attitude and ‘Kids In The Street’<\/em> is a subtle poppy track with a strong hook yet in comparison to their more\u00a0familiar\u00a0numbers, tonight it falls slightly flat.<\/p>\n

After a reasonable wait, the triumphant return of Blink-182<\/strong> begins with tons of energy with ‘Feeling This’ and from there on in the trio produce an enjoyable set with stand out singles ‘I Miss You’<\/em> and ‘What’s My Age Again?’<\/em> being shifted out the way early on. Although this tour is in part of promoting last year’s ‘Neighborhoods’<\/em> album, its clear that some fans are somewhat unfamiliar with songs such as ‘Wishing Well’<\/em> and ‘After Midnight’<\/em> not receiving the best reactions.<\/p>\n

From this point on its clear that tonight is all about celebrating Blink’s 20 year history and with comes a sense of nostalgia which you helplessly fall for. Despite Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus both nearing middle age, the silly jokes are part and parcel of a Blink-182 show. The banter<\/em> between the two is for the most part kept to a minimum with Mark\u00a0spontaneously\u00a0singing Kelis’ ‘Milkshake’<\/em> and Tom performing ‘Take Of Your Pants and Jacket’ b-side ‘Fuck A Dog.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Following on from the expected ‘All the Small Things’<\/em> and ‘Josie,’<\/em> we are unfortunately treated to a one-song encore (‘Dammit.’<\/em>) A slightly sour end to the night as many, including me, were expecting a brief acoustic encore which has been seen at some shows on this tour but unfortunately Nottingham wasn’t treated to such a unique sight.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless performance-wise, the band are thorough throughout the show with the obvious highlight being Travis Barker’s\u00a0unbelievable\u00a0drumming; his drum solo during the encore simply leaves you stunned and plainly thinking “holy shit.”<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, however brief this reunion is and if Blink-182 become inactive again, its clear that they will be never be forgotten as tonight was a celebration of a band’s legacy and the memorable songs they have produced\u00a0throughout\u00a0the years (but a few more songs from ‘TOYPAJ’<\/em> would of been\u00a0welcomed.) They may have not grown up with age but after tonight, I don’t think anyone would want them to. A brilliant show all-around.<\/p>\n
