Blink-182 Revives Rare 2001 Songs for Missionary Impossible Tour

Blink-182 launched their 2025 “Missionary Impossible Tour” in Hollywood, Florida, delighting fans with a mix of rare deep cuts and classics. For the first time since 2001, they performed “Roller Coaster” and “Online Songs” from their album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, alongside other rarities like “Josie” and “Wishing Well,” which had not been played live with guitarist Tom DeLonge since 2014. The band also revived their cover of the Descendents’ “Hope,” not performed since 2003, and included newer material from their 2023 album One More Time…, the first album with DeLonge since his 2022 return. The tour features support from Alkaline Trio, whose Matt Skiba had filled in for DeLonge during his absence, and includes upcoming festival headline appearances such as Chicago’s Riot Fest. The setlist and stage design evoke nostalgia, with a custom-built basement-themed stage capturing the band’s early energy despite their veteran status. This tour marks a significant moment for the band and fans, celebrating both their history and current creative resurgence.
