Here’s a fun fact: since 2001’s Enema Of The State, every Blink-182 full-length album has peaked at least in the top three of the Billboard 200. Three of those albums have hit number one, including 2023 comeback album One More Time. By just about any metric you can possibly imagine, the fact is that Blink-182 have maintained their status on what’s a very short list of the biggest pop-punk bands in history.
On July 6th, they cemented that status by playing a show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California – a notable city in the Los Angeles metro area. It’s home to the Los Angeles Rams, and is particularly suited to large shows of this nature. A stunning 51,000 people were at the show, making this the band’s biggest headlining show in their history. Yes, pop-punk is for the people.
