Blink-182Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker of Blink-182 are doing their part amid the ongoing fires in Los Angeles.
On Jan. 27, the "All The Small Things" band announced a one-night-only benefit concert at the Hollywood Palladium set for Feb. 13 with proceeds going to the Pasadena Humane Society, California Fire Department, LAFD Foundation and ARC Firefighter Fund.
The show will feature opening act Alkaline Trio, a punk trio featuring members Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano and Atom Willard. It's a fun pairing for fans of Blink-182, as Skiba briefly stepped into the band from 2015-2022 during DeLonge's hiatus.
