The details of Blink-182
The reason for the suspension was confirmed by Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker, when he told on his social networks that he underwent surgery on Tuesday, February 28, due to an injury to his left ring finger in a rehearsal at the beginning of February.
“Yesterday I was playing the drums in rehearsals and I broke my finger so hard that I dislocated it and tore my ligaments,” Barker said on his social networks, where he also shared a series of images of his fractured finger.
Many fans first thought that he would be replaced by another drummer (Tré Cool from Green Day was talked about), but eventually the Californian trio was replaced by the band Twenty One Pilots.
The closing of the 2nd, then, will be with the explosive duo formed by the singer Tyler Joseph and the drummer Josh Dun.

The duo is mainly known for the hits
Stressed Out, Ride

Together, Tyler and Josh are a steamroller fusing rock and rap together as an alt-rock masterclass.
They put together and take apart their own songs live, building and deconstructing them, interrupting a verse to say that it's great to be back in Argentina, and to resume it as if nothing had happened.
As for hits, in that show in front of 70 thousand people nothing was missing, from the immortal
Stressed out
, to the most recent
Jumpsuit
and
Chlorine
.
The stage charisma broke down all barriers, through actions such as singing while walking on top of the people in the first rows, haranguing a pogo all embracing, moving a battery over the audience, climbing a sound tower and, obviously, finishing dressed with Argentina National Team shirts..
A varied grid
In addition to Twenty One Pilots, the other Lollapalooza headliners will be Drake, Billie Eilish, Tame Impala and Lil Nas X. There will also be more current music such as Rosalía, The 1975, Jamie XX, Kali Uchis, as well as musicians representing the best of Argentine music, with María Becerra, Trueno, Usted Señalemelo, Diego Torres and Marilina Bertoldi.
