Pop-punk legends blink-182 took the stage at The Forum in Inglewood for the 2020 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO festival, delivering a powerhouse performance that bridged generations of fans. This set captured the band during a distinct era, with Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio fame handling guitar and vocal duties alongside mainstays Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker. The trio's chemistry was on full display as they tore through a setlist packed with both nostalgic anthems and newer material.
The energy in the arena was electric as the band launched into classics like "Feeling This," "The Rock Show," and "What's My Age Again?," reminding everyone why they became icons of the genre. They balanced the set perfectly, weaving in tracks from their then-recent album "Nine," such as "Darkside" and "I Really Wish I Hated You." True to form, the performance was filled with their signature on-stage banter and humor. The show culminated in an epic finale, with the band playfully mixing a snippet of TLC's "No Scrubs" into their classic hit "Dammit," leaving the sold-out crowd buzzing.
