The Californian trio rolled back the years with an energetic and frenetic performance in front of an appreciative AO Arena crowd.

On Sunday evening, pop-punk royalty Blink-182 impressed with a heartfelt, and at times emotional, set at a sold-out AO Arena. The band have had many ups and downs since their formation in 1992 and have had more splits than a teenage couple, but when it was announced last year that the band were having a reunion tour, demand for tickets was incredible as people clamoured for a blast of nostalgia.

Despite sustaining some pretty bad cuts to his hand during the set, Barker didn’t miss a beat at all. With playful, puerile and crude jokes at each other’s expense aplenty, you could see the band relished in being in each other’s company again, the crowd laughing at their snipes and jibes which were an earmark of their persona in their halcyon days.
