Blink 182’s Tom DeLonge has told NME that he is planning on making three films in the future, and that his band Angels and Airwaves will definitely be performing at festivals this summer, despite Blink 182’s summer comeback tour.
DeLonge is currently touring with Angels and Airwaves, and will bring the band to the UK this April. While some may think that the rocker is a pretty busy guy already, Delonge has revealed his plans for the future – and it turns out his diary couldn’t be any more packed than it is right now.
“We've got three movies ideas that we're working on, two specifically; one has a completely written script, which I can't go into yet,” he told NME. “But the Poet movie is a very large, ambitious idea; it's about dreams and near death experiences. It'll have the pacing of a mainstream film, but it'll look very artistic. It'll allow us to create a score album that's very different to anything Angels And Airwaves has done in the past.”
He continued on to talk about his spring-time shows with Angels and Airwaves and how they’ll tie in with Blink 182, saying: “The shows we're doing in April are underplays, they're promotional. We're just really coming over to say hello for a bit and then we'll be back for the festivals and then we'll follow that with a full Love tour. We've sold the movie to a UK distributor so that'll come out in the next few months. We'll do these shows, do festivals, the movie will get released and then we'll come back and bring the movie to life properly.
“The Blink tour is in June and then the Angels dates will get worked in after that. But I'll be doing both bands throughout the year. We've confirmed all our production design for the European run. Mark is in London and having an amazing time, he's been writing music. We'll be going strong through May and June. Blink has such a rabid fanbase in the UK, I look forward to those, UK shows are some of the best we play in the world.”
