The dudes from Blink-182 will soon release their first album in eight years (did you miss them?), and they're touring in support of the record. They came to the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre last Saturday with My Chemical Romance, tattoos and punky attitude in tow, and we took a ton of photos. We interviewed them in advance of the show—did you know that vocalist Tom DeLonge is a total astronomy geek? I had no idea, myself.
