This was the best pop-punk week ever + BLINK is BACK + The best pop-punk festival lineup you'll ever see + NEW MUSIC

Oct 17, 2022

Before we get into the newsletter, I want to apologize real quick for not sending out a newsletter last Sunday. It was impossible for me to do so as I was on vacation at Disney World with the fam. So let’s get into this week because…

Holy sh*t! What a week it was for pop punk! Rumors were swirling around two weeks ago claiming that a huge announcement from blink-182 would reveal that Tom DeLonge is back in the band—and that’s exactly what happened on October 11th, 2022. Not only is the blink-182 reunion with Tom finally a thing, but the band announced a world tour, a new album on the way, and also released a new song called “EDGING” which is the band’s first song as this trio in nearly a decade.

But that wasn’t it for pop punk this week. Shortly after the blink-182 reunion announcement, When We Were Young Festival announced their lineup for 2023. And let me tell you, it is STACKED with Green Day and blink-182 set as headliners. Other notable acts are 30 Seconds to Mars, Good Charlotte, The Offspring, All Time Low, Something Corporate, Yellowcard, Sum 41, Simple Plan, Pierce the Veil, Magnolia Park, Plain White Tees, The Veronicas, The Ataris, Bowling for Soup, Finch, Fenix Tx and Newfound Glory. The first date (currently it’s the only date, but we know more dates are coming) sold out on the first day (October 14th) that tickets were available for purchase.

I truly don’t think there has ever been a better week for pop punk. If you don’t believe me, read on.

As a reminder: We are now officially in Spooky Season. Not only does that mean every emo is happy and comfortable, but it also means that The All Punked Up Podcast will be embracing the Halloween month by sharing conspiracy theories and ghost stories to keep you hyped throughout the rest of the month. Don’t worry, we’ll still be doing the newsy stuff too. So if you aren’t following our podcast yet, now ~~may be~~ is the best time to do so.

OUT MONDAY: SCARY SHIT: Show Me Some Skin / The Slaughter Yard

It's Spooky Season, and we want to celebrate by using this episode to take a break from the music news we normally bring you, and instead get into the scary season by sharing some believed-to-be-true scary stories. After each story, Tyler and John will discuss and determine whether or not they believe the story to be true or not.

For this week, we bring you two stories: Show Me Some Skin and The Slaughter Yard.

blink-182 & Tom DeLonge: reunited and it feels so good

Coming to your early this week! The All Punked Up Podcast arrives to talk about the biggest week pop-punk has ever seen! This week, they've talked about it for the last couple of years, and it's finally come true; Tyler and John discuss everything they know about the recently announced blink-182 and Tom DeLonge reunion. They discuss the band's upcoming tour, their upcoming album and what it could sound like, Tom's message to Matt Skiba, and more. They also talk about the When We Were Young Festival 2023 lineup. The festival really outdid itself as it's a million times better than the 2022 version.
