Blink-182 kicked off their North American tour on Thursday night (June 20) in Orlando, Florida, and gave fans quite the spectacle. The trio played hits, brushed off rarities, and covered songs from their side projects +44 and Box Car Racer, but the most surprising part of their 26-song set came around the midway mark when the band debuted a new, unreleased song called "Can't Go Back."
"Alright Orlando, we're gonna play a f***in' new song that no one has ever heard. Not even management, not our f***in' agents, not f***in' anybody. We just wrote this song and we're gonna play it tonight," Mark Hoppus told the crowd.
"Not even your mom when I call her up at 2 AM," Tom DeLonge chimed in.
Mark took on vocal duties for the first verse and chorus of the somber track, and then Tom added harmonies.
