Supports revealed for August Blink-182 dates

After announcing one, then later two (relatively) intimate live dates at Brixton Academy in London for early August, Reading and Leeds headliners Blink-182 have now revealed a couple of support bands.

Prides and Neck Deep have self-confirmed to play at the gigs, which take place on 6th and 8th August, ahead of the giant festival at the end of the month.

Scottish pop newcomers Prides will support on 6th August, saying “there is one band without whom Prides would not exist.”
