Blink-182 extends summer tour schedule, launches ticket pre-sale

A new batch of dates has been added to Blink-182�s summer road trip in support of its forthcoming album �Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.� The group has launched a pre-sale for tickets to most of the upcoming dates, and has also set general on-sale dates for a number of shows.

Fans must register online in order to participate in the already-underway pre-sale.

In addition to adding a batch of late July and early August dates, the group has also moved its two-night stand at Jones Beach in New York from July 20-21 to July 21-22.

The band�s itinerary includes a one-off appearance on the Vans Warped Tour bill during the festival�s July 14 engagement in Somerset, Wis.

Earlier this month, the group completed a short run through the U.S. as the headlining act on the Honda Civic Tour; Everclear takes over for Blink-182 on the second leg of that outing, which begins in late June.

Blink-182�s �Take Off Your Pants and Jacket� is due out on June 12. The album is the group�s first full-length release since its 1999, multi-platinum breakthrough, �Enema of the State� (MCA).
