Angels & Airwaves on Tour
Although blink-182 guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge is also the creative engine behind Angels & Airwaves, his two bands couldn't be more different. That's especially evident live: Although both groups offer up energetic sets, the Angels & Airwaves experience hews toward epic, heart-racing rock ‘n' roll. DeLonge is a soulful, passionate frontman who takes vocal and physical cues from charismatic superstar frontmen — think U2's Bono and Coldplay's Chris Martin — while his bandmates bash out soundscapes around him.
Over the years, Angels & Airwaves have toured with Weezer, appeared on the Vans Warped Tour, and landed spots at the Reading & Leeds Festivals. In 2019, the band embarked on their first tour in seven years and celebrated the occasion by releasing a keyboard-heavy, 1980s throwback single, "Rebel Girl."
Angels & Airwaves Background
When blink-182 went on hiatus in early 2005, DeLonge didn't miss a beat: He hunkered down in a home studio and crafted music for a new project that he dubbed Angels & Airwaves (sometimes abbreviated as AVA, in no small part because it's also the name of DeLonge's daughter). Although blink-182 favored brisk pop-punk, DeLonge's new tunes were cinematic rock indebted to U2 and '80s synth-pop, and buoyed by chiming synths and guitars.
Despite the different sound, Angels & Airwaves immediately connected with fans. The band's first two albums, 2006's gold-certified We Don't Need to Whisper and 2007's I-Empire, spawned five songs that made the Top 40 of Billboard's alternative songs chart — highlighted by 2006's "The Adventure," which peaked at No. 5. DeLonge's confidence grew with this success. Subsequent albums (including 2010's Love and 2011's Love: Pt. 2) boasted epic thematic concepts that explored philosophical and existential topics, as well as expansive sonic palettes with heavier guitars, prog flourishes and more experimental keyboards.
Ever ambitious, Angels & Airwaves also started dabbling in film projects. In 2008, they released the band origin documentary Start the Machine, while 2011 saw the release of the sci-fi-tinged Love. To go along with 2014's The Dream Walker, they even released an animated short called Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker.
I’m so happy I was able to make this concert and in New York! The ballroom was nice. Great view from the balcony anywhere I sat. Ángels and Airwaves were Amazing, but I was there for Bad Suns. They were awesome and it lifted my spirits that night to dance and sing to a amazing night out
Great venue, easy parking, and great sound — I’d def come back to see another show here! Angels and Airwaves and Bad Suns were absolutely amazing too!!
First of all, my favorite band, BAD SUNS, headlined. I have attended this venue at least 4 times but this time was extra!!! There were so many lazers! I danced all night 💕
Awesome show!! Great venue, amazing night. One of my favorite things was the merchandise, they had 1 pound bags of coffee with the bands name on it.
AVA always put on an amazing show. Loved the venue too! I can’t wait to see them again!
Great venue to have an AVA experience. The opening acts were really good leading up to the main event. Never seen this band live before and they didn’t disappoint, their sound is just as good as their studio albums.
Opening acts were good, but AVA was outstanding. Tom’s voice was spot on. Second time seeing them here and they sounded so much better on this tour.
They always put on a great entertainment! I had a blast and so did everyone’s around me
They never disappoint! The lights were incredible and worked perfectly with each song. Love Tom’s banter in between songs with the band as usual. Great set list too!
They always put on a great show! House of blues have the best staff and always friendly! We had a chance to upgrade our tickets so easily. It was a great time!
