Blink-182 at Leeds Festival 2024: set time, weather forecast and what could the punk band perform?

• Blink-182 are your Saturday headliners at Leeds Festival 2024 (August 24 2024.)
• The punk group join Liam Gallagher, headlining this evening, and Fred Again, performing Sunday, as this year’s headliners. 
• Ahead of their performance at Bramham Park, are the beloved band clashing with any other performances, and what time are they due on stage?

It’s been ten years since Blink-182 last performed at Leeds Festival, but a decade later the beloved punk act are set to headline Saturday at Bramham Park (August 24 2024.)

It marks the second time the group are closing out the festival, after their somewhat divisive headline set at the 2014 event - though fans loved seeing the popular lineup of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker back together after DeLonge’s return to the group, others found it embarrassing…

But the group, who are responsible for the breakout hit “Enema of the State” and who brought the world such catchy classics as “First Date,” “What’s My Age Again?” and the more sombre moments of “Stay Together For The Kids” and “I Miss You,” have been mainstays at the festival - so it’s hardly surprising to see them back.

Their first Leeds Festival performance took place in 1999 when the festival was held at Temple Newsam, and since then have returned to the festival five times, including 2014’s headline set.

It’s been another busy year for the band, with their world tour including dates at Leeds and Reading Festival this year, but it’s only felt like yesterday since the group embarked on a UK tour in the late stages of 2023 - performing in Manchester, Birmingham and two celebrated nights at London’s The O2.

So it comes as a bitter pill to swallow that there is going to be a stage clash during Blink-182’s headline set at Leeds Festival 2024; but who are fans going to miss out seeing when the band take to the stage. 

Come to mention it, what time are Blink-182 performing at Bramham Park this year?

Who are Blink-182 set clashing with at Leeds Festival 2024?

This is a tough one - The Prodigy will be performing on the Chevron Stage during Blink-182’s Main Stage set, with Liam Howlett and Maxim taking to the stage at 9:35pm and their set finishing at 10:50pm.

Those seeing Jorja Smith at the BBC Radio 1 stage will miss the first 45 minutes of Blink-182’s set, with her performance finishing at 9:50pm, while those going to see Neck Deep for the second time on the day will miss the first 15 minutes of the set, with the punk act finishing their set on the Festival Republic stage at 9:30pm.

There are also set clashes with Messie (10pm - 11pm, LS23) and Rachel Hume, who is performing at Piccadilly Party from 10pm until 11pm.

What is the weather forecast for Blink-182’s set at Leeds Festival 2024?

It’s set to be a partly cloudy night in Wetherby when Blink-182 perform this year; the Met Office are forecasting that, despite light showers earlier in the day, that the evening will remain dry but with a high of 13° - so a light jacket might be ideal.

Looking at the band’s most recent gig at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on August 15 2024, it’s pleasing to see that the set incorporated both works by Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker’s side project, +44, and Tom DeLonge’s cult emo-works with Boxcar Racer.
