MOOSIC — After a new song and a summer 2016 tour routing leaked online last night, Blink-182 have officially announced their first major tour with new member Matt Skiba. At 7 p.m. Thursday, August 25, the tour brings them to The Pavilion at Montage Mountain.

At the same time Blink-182 was lighting up the Total Request Live phone lines, Skiba was lighting up the underground music scene with his own pop-punk three-piece, Alkaline Trio. The singer/guitarist was brought into Blink-182 last year to replace long-time member Tom DeLonge, and is featured on the band’s newest song, “Bored to Death.” The song is from their new album “California,” set for release July 1.

General admission tickets for the event will be available May 6 at noon at Ticketmaster.com, with a fan club presale beginning 10 a.m. April 29 and a Live Nation/radio/Ticketmaster presale beginning 10 a.m. May 5.

A Day To Remember, All Time Low will also perform. A Day To Remember released their new song “Paranoia” last month, while All Time Low’s latest album, “Future Hearts,” debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s top 200 chart.
