Each show began with a humorous intro from Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announcer Bruce Buffer, as though the band are fighters in a match.[5] For their first part of their set, The set's backdrop is adorned with dozens of flyers, designed to look like a grimy punk club, with an industrial lighting rig overhead.[6] The tour's setlist has included both hits and deep cuts, including several songs the band has not played live in decades. These have included "Josie" from Dude Ranch, "Roller Coaster" and "Online Songs" from Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, "Wishing Well" and "Natives" from 2011's Neighborhoods, as well as a cover of the Descendents' "Hope", which the band had not played live since 2003.[7] Descendents guitarist Stephen Egerton would join stage to play the song alongside the band. Matt Skiba, who replaced Tom DeLonge from 2015 to 2022, occasionally joined the band on stage to play "Bored to Death".[8]

Reception

Jim Shahen Jr., for the Times Union, called the Saratoga Springs gig “nostalgia-fueled [and] energetic."[9] Shawn Macomber of the Miami New Times reviewed the tour's first stop and marveled at "vital and alive Blink-182 sounds more than three decades in," describing their onstage unity as "something transcendent and multifaceted [...] If this is growing up, may we all age so gracefully."[5]
