Blank-281 is a Blink-182 tribute seen nationally on E!’s Clash of the Cover Bands, touring the United States and internationally since 2007. The Atlanta-based band recreates the full Mark, Tom, and Travis show, the hits, the newer singles, and the between-song comedy, in set lengths from 45 minutes to a full three-hour concert.
Blank-281 has appeared on E!’s Clash of the Cover Bands, the network tribute-act competition, which puts a national credential behind the booking. For a presenter, that is a useful signal of production quality and stage presence beyond the usual local-band track record, and it is a point of promotion that helps sell tickets.
Blank-281 is built to fit the slot. The band performs sets at 45, 60, and 90 minutes, a two-hour show, or a full three-hour concert drawn from across Blink-182’s catalog, and it can add a set of 1990s and party-rock material when a program needs more range. That flexibility makes the act easy to route into a festival window, a casino showroom, or a full headline night.
Blank-281 has toured steadily since 2007, playing venues, clubs, and universities across the country and internationally, including rooms like Hard Rock Cafe and a wide college and festival circuit. This is a seasoned working act with the road experience to advance cleanly and deliver the same show in any market.
Blink-182 was never only about the songs. The jokes, the crowd banter, and the irreverence were half the show, and Blank-281 performs that side of it too, not just a note-for-note set. The result feels like a real Blink-182 concert rather than a straight cover set, which is what a nostalgia audience is actually there for.
Blank-281 has a documented following among both venue bookers and fans, built over more than 15 years of touring. The band has headlined clubs and played the college and festival circuit widely, and it has a track record of drawing and giving back: a single Blank-281 charity concert in Chicago raised $15,500 for cancer awareness through Gilda’s Club.
“These guys are the real deal, worth every penny. They rocked Elmhurst College.” — Matt Shea, Booking, Elmhurst College
“Blank-281 succeeded at playing tribute by acting and sounding like Blink-182.” — Herminia Irizarry, Northern Star Newspaper
Blank-281 can be configured to match the room, the run of show, and the audience.
A Blank-281 performance draws from across the Blink-182 catalog. A representative set can include:
Blink-182 formed in Poway, California, in 1992 and became one of the defining pop-punk bands of their generation. Fueled by the blockbuster Enema of the State and a run of hits that dominated MTV and radio, the trio of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker sold tens of millions of albums and turned skate-punk energy and self-deprecating humor into a mainstream sound. Their catalog is now a core part of the early-2000s nostalgia that drives so much live programming.
Blank-281 is an Atlanta-based tribute that has been performing that catalog since 2007. Seen on E!’s Clash of the Cover Bands, the band recreates the full Blink-182 concert experience, songs, banter, and all, and has toured nationally and internationally across clubs, universities, and festivals. Its flexible set lengths and all-ages options make it one of the more easily programmed pop-punk tributes on the circuit.
The timing is strong for presenters. Blink-182 reunited its classic lineup when Tom DeLonge returned in 2022, followed by a major 2023 and 2024 world tour and the album One More Time, and the broader pop-punk and emo revival has filled festivals and nostalgia nights. A Blink-182 tribute like Blank-281 lets a casino, festival, or campus tap that wave with a full-energy show at a scale and cost that fit the calendar.
