Mark Hoppus is heading to Australia in 2026 \u2014 but this time, he\u2019s not coming with Blink-182<\/a> or a bass guitar in hand.<\/p>\n

Instead, the beloved frontman will take fans behind the scenes of his life and career for An Evening of Storytelling with Mark Hoppus, a spoken-word live tour that promises honesty, humour and vulnerability in equal measure.<\/p>\n

More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hoppus will perform two exclusive shows: one at Melbourne Recital Centre on Thursday, March 19, and another at the iconic Sydney Opera House on Saturday, March 21. The tour follows the release of his 2024 memoir Fahrenheit\u2011182<\/em>, which offered fans an unfiltered look into his childhood, rise to fame with Blink, public cancer battle, and the emotional fallout from band drama and personal loss.<\/p>\n

Presale access for the Live Nation\u2013promoted event opens Thursday, Nov. 13 at 12 p.m. local time via livenation.com.au\/register<\/a>, with general on-sale beginning Friday, Nov. 14 at 1 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n

Unlike a typical pop-punk concert packed with Blink classics like \u201cWhat\u2019s My Age Again?\u201d or \u201cAll the Small Things,\u201d this event will trade moshing for meaning. Fans can expect a raw account of Hoppus\u2019 journey \u2014 from growing up in the California desert as a latchkey kid, to Blink-182\u2019s meteoric rise, to the 2021 cancer diagnosis that almost ended everything. He\u2019ll also share behind-the-scenes moments that never made it to the stage \u2014 from label fights to friendship fractures to finding a way back to music and purpose.<\/p>\n

Hoppus\u2019 memoir<\/a>, which debuted on the New York Times<\/em> Best Sellers list earlier this year, has been praised for its candid tone and dark humour. The book\u2019s title \u2014 Fahrenheit\u2011182<\/em> \u2014 nods to both Ray Bradbury\u2019s Fahrenheit 451<\/em> and Blink\u2019s own cheeky mythology, but the content is far more personal than Blink\u2019s tongue-in-cheek origins.<\/p>\n

The tour marks Hoppus\u2019 first solo visit to Australia since Blink-182\u2019s reunion tour wrapped earlier this year.<\/p>\n
