Padres & Airwaves: A Baseball Game With Tom DeLonge
Tom DeLonge knows everyone at Petco Park — or at least everyone at Petco Park knows Tom DeLonge. As the rare celebrity who considers himself a San Diego Padres fan, he’s a fixture at the stadium. As a season ticket holder for some of the plushest seats in the ballpark, he knows the stadium inside and out. It’s one of his favorite spots in his hometown, and it’s really the little things that he’s proud to point out as he walks through the concourse — like the composite floors around the concession stands to prevent the typical sticky concrete, the way the upper deck provides complete shade for many seats even during day games, and the hidden locations for the trained marksmen who watch over every game in the event of a security threat. When DeLonge walks through the crowds waiting for overp...
Tom DeLonge Is Still Optimistic About the Padres’ Chances This Season
Earlier this year when we polled musicians about their predictions for the 2021 MLB season, few were as colorful (which honestly, really shouldn’t be all that surprising) as ex-Blink-182 and current Angels & Airwaves frontman Tom DeLonge. He had high hopes for his beloved San Diego Padres, who boasted one of the strongest rosters and best young players in baseball coming into the spring. As the season progressed, the Padres are in a dogfight with the San Francisco Giants and DeLonge’s hated Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL West division crown and the two subsequent Wild Card spots. However, as DeLonge notes, he’d rather win the division than play one of those two teams in a winner-take-all Wild Card. Early on the same morning when he was slated to take the Lollapalooza stage (and a day a...
Angels & Airwaves Release New Single and Video for ‘Euphoria’
After two weeks of the cryptic Project Dreamland campaign, Angels & Airwaves have finally released “Euphoria” alongside their announcement that they’d be playing Lollapalooza this year in addition to a pair of headlining shows in New York (October 23 at Hammerstein Ballroom) and Los Angeles (November 5 at the Hollywood Palladium). Although still plenty grand and catchy, the latest from UFO expert and Padres super fan Tom DeLonge certainly leans harder and heavier than some Angels & Airwaves tracks of the past. The single — which released with a new video directed by DeLonge — combines a very straightforward rock approach with the band’s usual experimental tones and sounds. “In a music world that seems to be absent guitars, angst, and emotional authenticity,...
62 Musicians Predict the 2021 Baseball Season
Somehow, some way, it’s baseball season again. Yes, already. Last year’s abbreviated run saw the Los Angeles Dodgers defeat the Tampa Bay Rays in six games to win their first World Series title in 32 years, something that Ben Gibbard predicted in our 2020 preview. As you can imagine, Dodgers fans — especially the ones below — are in great spirits heading into the 2021 season. So what does that mean about this year? Absolutely nothing. As COVID restrictions start to loosen and with more fans allowed back into stadiums, excitement is beginning to buzz, especially with our group of experts. Like last time, many are hopeful that this will be their team’s year. We searched far and wide to get predictions for the upcoming Major League Baseball season, creating a proper barometer of what these su...
Tom DeLonge Will Delve Into UFOs and Outer Space at Metaverse
While fans wait for more new Angels & Airwaves material, vocalist Tom Delonge will shift his focus from music later this month when he’ll appear virtually at Metaverse — REEDPOP’s comic conference. In a panel called “Can Blink 182’s Tom DeLonge Uncover US Government UFO Secrets?” Delonge will be putting on his UFO expert hat and will speak with former intelligence officer and fellow UFO hunter Luis Elizondo about what else — aliens and space. All the small things, like Metaverse and aliens… Join Tom DeLonge (Blink 182) & Luis Elizondo (former head of AATIP) as they try to make sense of outer space, and shed new light on UFOs around the world, Aug 16 in the #ReedPopMetaverse https://t.co/6iFws85O7Q pic.twitter.com/gTnUhq8GhF — Ne...
Angels & Airwaves Share New Video for ‘All That’s Left Is Love’
It’s been a big past few days for Blink-182’s past and current members. Mark Hoppus saved a deer from a lake and now, Tom DeLonge’s Angels & Airwaves have shared a new video for “All That’s Left Is Love.” The song was originally released in April. Proceeds from the song will go to Feeding America. “We never appreciate the connection we have with others until it’s gone, and although we may not be able to change this first part of this story, we can for sure change the ending,” DeLonge says of the song. Previous singles that have been released include “Rebel Girl” and “Kiss & Tell.” The group is currently (and has been) at work on a new album, which would be their first since 2014’s The Dream Walker. Since leaving Blink-182, DeLonge has had an assortment of...
