New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Surf, sun, and now incredible music complete the line-up for the inaugural Surf Ranch Pro presented by Hurley. The World Surf League (WSL) announces that blink-182 will perform Saturday evening,
September 8, at Surf Ranch in Lemoore, Calif., during Stop No. 8 on the WSL Championship Tour (CT), which runs
September 6 - 9.
Born in San Diego, blink-182 quickly became a huge favorite of surf fans. The group has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and become one of the defining rock bands of their generation, playing for sold-out audiences from Adelaide to Zurich, and now for the first time, in front of the most perfect man-made wave on the planet, as the headlining act for the Surf Ranch Pro.
"We have played a lot of cool interesting places but nothing quite like this," said blink-182.
"We look forward to playing for the best of the surf community in such an epic location."
The surf competition and festival schedule includes:
Friday:
