Blink-182 Plays Swanky Private Event Two Miles From Coachella

Blink-182 were lured out of their hibernation Saturday night (10/3) and accepted an invite to play a private gig at a luxurious resort eight minutes away from the Empire Polo Club where the Coachella festival is held.

The trio played a 9 song set of their hits in what is now their second private show of 2026, following their gig in May in Los Angeles thanks to Mercedes-Benz.

You might remember back in May, drummer Travis Barker said before the event, "Blink has one show this year. It's like a private party," giving fans the impression it would be the last time they were going to play in '26.

A Banger Was Released Every Day In November

November gets plenty of credit for turkey, football and the annual rush to buy a slightly larger television. The record stores deserve a little attention, too. From Nirvana unplugging to Wu-Tang kicking the door in, this month has delivered an impressive pile of albums and plenty of ways to drown out Thanksgiving arguments. Here’s one for every day.

Nirvana, MTV Unplugged in New York album coverNovember 1: Nirvana, MTV Unplugged in New York (1994, DGC Records). MTV once put musicians on television and let them play entire songs. Imagine. Nirvana used the opportunity to sidestep the obvious hits and lean on David Bowie, Lead Belly and the Meat Puppets. Kurt Cobain’s final howl in “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” makes the usual unplugged-session chatter about intimacy seem rather inadequate. Also: Megadeth, Youthanasia (1994); The Cure, Songs of a Lost World (2024).
