Blink-182 reschedule four shows

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 9/1/09 @ 5:24 PM - altpress.com

A representative for LiveNation revealed that Blink-182 have rescheduled their next two shows "in order for Travis Barker to mourn the loss of his dear friend Adam Goldstein." The Cleveland show which was slated for Sept. 2 will now take place Sept. 30, and Thursday's St. Louis show will now be held Sept. 29. In order to accomodate the changes, shows in Charlotte, NC, and Atlanta, GA, have also been moved to Oct. 6 and 7, respectively. All previously purchased tickets will be honored. It's likely that the support acts for the rescheduled shows will now be Fall Out Boy, the All-American Rejects and Asher Roth, since they were originally tabbed for the dates at the tail-end of the tour.

Read the band's statement here. Blink will resume the tour on Sept. 4 in Kansas City, MO.

Altpress Exclusive: Blink-182 shows in Cleveland and St. Louis canceled

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 9/1/09 @ 3:12 PM - altpress.com

A representative for Weezer has revealed to Altpress.com that tomorrow night's Blink-182 concert--featuring Weezer and Taking Back Sunday as openers --has been canceled. Blink-182 didn't perform at last night's show in Saratoga, New York, due to the death of DJ AM, but the other bands still went on.

Earlier today, Taking Back Sunday guitarist Eddie Reyes posted to his Twitter account that he is at home in Sandusky, Ohio, and will not return to the tour until this Friday in Kansas City, further adding fuel to the rumor that the St. Louis date has also been canceled. While we've yet to receive an official, on-the-record confirmation, we're calling this one as canceled, too.

No word on refunds or possible rescheduling yet.
