Pop punk legends Blink 182 made a stop in Denver in the midst of their current world tour. The Denver date sold out in seconds when tickets went live and the anticipation has been building ever since.
The band tore through a collection of hits sending us back all the way to 1992. Legends among the punk scene the band has blessed us with decades worth of music that we have grown to love and admire. The trio of Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge and Travis Barker have instilled a sound that is unique to the band with a slapstick appeal and lyrical homage to everyday life we can associate with.
The band have recently won Denver over within the last couple years as the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche had adopted “All The Small Things” as the teams anthem most recently during their Stanley Cup run last year. Carrying over that buzz the band slayed through an entire catalog of sing-a-longs as the sold out crowd ate up every note and belted out lyrics from “Rock Show”, “What’s My Age Again”, and concluding with “Rocky Mountain High” by John Denver. A perfect ending for a perfect evening.
