Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus Speaks Out on Rivalry With Green Day

Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus recently opened up about the “musical battle” between his band and Green Day, which came to the forefront during the iconic 2002 Pop Disaster Tour.

Blink-182 headlined every night during the tour, even though Green Day was the band that Hoppus had admired throughout his youth.

“I literally waited for the day that ‘Dookie’ came out,” he told NME in an interview published Monday. “I was in line waiting to buy it.”
