Blink-182's Mark Hoppus to Captivate Aussie Fans with Intimate Storytelling Tour
11 Nov
Summary
- Mark Hoppus to perform two exclusive spoken-word shows in Australia in 2026
- Tour follows release of his 2024 memoir "Fahrenheit‑182"
- Fans can expect raw, honest account of Hoppus' life and career
In 2026, Blink-182 frontman Mark Hoppus will be heading to Australia, but this time, he's not bringing his bass guitar. Instead, Hoppus will take the stage for a series of exclusive spoken-word performances, offering fans a raw and honest look into his life and career.
The tour, titled "An Evening of Storytelling with Mark Hoppus," will feature two shows: one at the Melbourne Recital Centre on March 19 and another at the iconic Sydney Opera House on March 21. This unique event promises to trade the typical Blink-182 concert experience for a more intimate and meaningful exploration of Hoppus' journey.
The tour follows the release of Hoppus' 2024 memoir, "Fahrenheit‑182," which debuted on the New York Times Best Sellers list earlier this year. The book has been praised for its candid tone and dark humor, providing fans with an unfiltered look into Hoppus' childhood, the meteoric rise of Blink-182, his public cancer battle, and the emotional fallout from band drama and personal loss.
Fans can expect Hoppus to share behind-the-scenes moments that never made it to the stage, from label fights to friendship fractures to finding a way back to music and purpose. This event marks Hoppus' first solo visit to Australia since Blink-182's reunion tour wrapped up earlier this year.
