Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman recently discussed some of the obstacles involved in getting Blink-182 to make an appearance on the summer festival. In a recent interview on The Gunz Show, Lyman touches on the economic issues he faces trying to keep Warped ticket prices low and fans constant request of Blink-182. Check out what Lyman had to say about the possibility of Blink returning to Warped tour below.

Everyone always says, ‘Bring Blink!’ And just as a sheer economics project, think about what Blink would cost and what you’d pay for a Blink ticket compared to a Warped Tour ticket. It doesn’t work economically for Blink. They’re always welcome to come back. The door is never shut for anyone, but they’ve just gotta figure out how to come be part of it and still make it work for that $40 ticket at the door.”

Warped Tour has an impressive line-up this year including Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, New Found Glory and more but what line-up wouldn’t benefit from an appearance by the pop punk legends Blink-182?
