Blink-182 / No Doubt Summer Tour 2004 was a concert tour co-headlined by American rock bands Blink-182 and No Doubt. Launched in support of Blink-182's eponymous fifth studio album and No Doubt's The Singles 1992–2003, the tour took place in the summer of 2004 and saw the two Southern California groups travel to US amphitheatres.

Background[edit]

The short tour kicked-off at IndianapolisVerizon Wireless Amphitheatre on June 1, 2004, and ended back in Southern California, at San Bernardino’s Hyundai Pavilion, on June 26, 2004.[1]

Although many venues were, at the time, operated by Clear Channel Entertainment, individual promoter deals were cut in each market by agents Mitch Okmin at the M.O.B. Agency (No Doubt) and Darryl Eaton at CAA (Blink-182).[2] The summer dates were worked around No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani's work on her Interscope debut solo record (Love. Angel. Music. Baby.), and her role in the Martin Scorsese film The Aviator (2004).[2] "I was like, ‘Gwen, can you give me three weeks?’," said Jim Guerinot, manager of No Doubt for Rebel Waltz, to Billboard. "I would have loved to have had a whole summer of this tour."[2]

Reception[edit]

Joe D'Angelo of MTV News considered No Doubt's performance largely better than Blink's, writing that "The audience here was wholly under [Gwen Stefani's] spell, given that on this particular night, No Doubt were the best show in town, even if Blink played one hell of a concert."[3]
