Fresh off their surprise appearance at Los Angeles' Paramount Studios last week, blink-182 have confirmed an extensive reunion tour that starts on July 24 in Las Vegas and winds down on October 3 in Atlantic City. As a stimulus package bonus of sorts, the band also worked out a deal with Live Nation where fans can buy $20 tickets that include law seats, parking and no additional taxes or fees. They'll go on sale along with pricier options on May 30.

"We've worked very hard with the promoters to make possible something that has never been done by any major touring act—$20 tickets," Hoppus said in a press release, adding, "We can't wait to get on tour this summer. After a four year break, we're ready to get out on the road and play what we hope will be the most amazing tour of the season."

Considering who'll be in the trek's rotating support slot (Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Panic At the Disco, Asher Roth and more), the chance of something amazing happening is quite good—practically guaranteed, even.
