There seems to be a common thread running through the (seemingly) unrelated slate of bands Blink-182 have tapped to open dates on their summer tour: They’re all huge Blink fans.

In fact, many of the younger acts on the bill — bands like Panic at the Disco and Chester French — have some pretty vivid memories of seeing Blink on their previous tours.

“We went to Blink’s [2002] Pop Disaster Tour with Green Day and Jimmy Eat World, and that was the first show that we’d seen in an arena,” Panic drummer Spencer Smith told MTV News. “We didn’t have floor seats, and at one point, one of the bands asked everyone to jump down, so we took part in that, and that was the first, like, bombarding-the-stage moment of my life, so that was cool.” — MTV.com
