Blink 182 Perform Together After Almost a Decade at Coachella! (View Pics)
Blink 182 reunion is finally here and things seem alright with the world! The band performed after almost a decade at Coachella. Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, played together for the first time since DeLonge left the band in 2014, and reembraced the juvenile, fun, ridiculous double-time punk-pop that gave them their breakthrough, and opened with Family Reunion.

'Rock Show' was an early highlight: as the biggest rock band on an international-pop-leaning bill, it was near-nostalgic to hear a giant shouty singalong, and the audience would only scream along louder as the set built its way to the moody "I Miss You" and the seminal hit "What's My Age Again". Though Barker hurt a finger earlier this year, forcing the postponement of the band's tour, there was no sign of injury here - his playing felt crisp and precise, and the band felt tight and rehearsed.
