On September 3, 2025, the Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek will host the “Missionary Impossible 2025 Tour,” headlined by the ever-evolving Blink-182. This trio—Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker—has transcended their pop-punk roots, blending adolescent humor with introspective themes of love, loss, and existential dread. Their music, a fusion of catchy melodies and punk energy, has been described as a defining force in the pop-punk genre. For more on Blink-182, visit their official website: blink182.com.

Joining them is Alkaline Trio, the Chicago-based band known for their dark, gothic aesthetic and emotionally charged lyrics. Their style, a blend of pop-punk, punk rock, emo, and alternative rock, has been influenced by acts like the Cure and Joy Division. Critics have noted their ability to combine macabre imagery with clever turns of phrase, creating a sound that is both haunting and captivating.
