Honda Civic Tour - Blink-182 / My Chemical Romance
May 24, 2011 -- Blink-182 return to the Honda Civic Tour to celebrate the event's 10-year anniversary. The band co-headlined the inaugural Honda Civic Tour in 2001. Even better, My Chemical Romance are co-headlining! So if, like me, you weren't able to see MCR's "World Contamination Tour," we have an oppotunity to hear the songs from Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys live.
Support acts vary depending on the venue. Slated as support for the 2011 Honda Civic Tour are Manchester Orchestra, Rancid (yes, Rancid!!), Matt & Kim.
