Blink-182 confirmed for Reading Festival

Blink-182 is an American pop punk band from San Diego, California, formed in 1992. The band formed as "Blink" with vocalist and guitarist Tom DeLonge, vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor. In 1998, midway through a U.S. tour, current drummer Travis Barker replaced Scott Raynor. Blink-182 is recognized as a key pioneer of contemporary pop punk music, influencing various acts over their career.

After releasing debut album Cheshire Cat (1994), the band achieved relative success with Dude Ranch (1997), now having sold over a million copies. However, the trio achieved even greater success with the multi-platinum selling Enema of the State (1999). Their following two albums maintained their popularity; Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) and Blink-182 (2003) before DeLonge left the group in early 2005, initiating an indefinite hiatus. DeLonge went on to form Angels & Airwaves, while Hoppus and Barker continued playing music together in +44. After some tragic events involving the band and its entourage, they reunited in February 2009 and a new album is in the works.

Blink-182 has sold over 25 million albums worldwide.

MP, Police, and Council comment on meeting with Reading Festival bosses

The MP reveals in the article what measures could be implemented to combat the behaviour of a minority of fans, saying "I suspect these could include beefing up the security on Sunday nights as well as trying to clamp down on people trying to re-enter the festival site after the acts have finished by swapping wrist bands with fans who were leaving. These were people who were clearly not interested in the music and in all probability included elements looking for trouble on the last night."

The MP who called the meeting to make it clear that he wants the festival organisers to stop the marauding mobs and fires blazing unchecked in the campsites before there were serious injuries, reveals, "It was a frank and forthright discussion of my concerns over the scenes which took place on some of the campsites on the last night of the festival."

"I was angered by the official apparent denials of the problems in the media immediately after the event which were at odds with everything I had both seen on video and which had been brought to my attention. However, I am satisfied now there is an acceptance of the very real problems that need to be addressed."

Leader of Reading Borough Council Councillor Jo Lovelock also speaks about the meeting in the article, saying "I think it was accepted that there had been issues on the Sunday night that had not been experienced before and that we need to get together and have a plan to deal with it to see it does not occur again in the future."

Chief Inspector Dave Parker, the night time commander at this year's festival, is quoted as saying, "Mr Salter listened to the views offered by Reading Borough Council, Festival Republic and Thames Valley Police and I believe that he left the meeting reassured that any required lessons would be learned from the debrief which had already been planned."

"It was apparent that right up to the Sunday evening that the event had been probably the best run ever from feedback that had been received. However, despite our best efforts, the last night was particularly busy and some of the activities that took place need to be addressed."

"It is too early to say how the policing operation will be amended to prevent and resolve the Sunday night antics of the few that appeared to ruin what had been a most enjoyable festival, but rest assured all the partners are keen to prevent a repeat in 2010."

Mr Salter, who campaigned for the festival to return to Reading in 1986, is also quoted in the Reading Chronicle, (here), as saying, "I want the festival to succeed. But I want it to be not just a great festival but a safe festival... There was a genuine recognition at the meeting that the Sunday night has now become a serious problem and that a specific plan will have to be put in place to clamp down on dangerous anti-social behaviour on this particular night."
