Rock band Blink 182 played its first show in almost a decade at an hour-long set at Coachella. Entering to ‘Also Sprach Zarathustra’ – aka the theme to ‘2001’ – Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge, playing together for the first time since DeLonge left the band in 2014, wasted no time reembracing the juvenile, fun, ridiculous double-time punk-pop.

It was the thing that made them breakthrough radio stars in the late ’90s and early aughts, opening with ‘Family Reunion’ – a song whose lyrics are unprintable in a family publication, reports ‘Variety’.

The band including Travis Barker shared the same Jackass-style ease they did 20 years ago in their prime, with DeLonge and Hoppus cracking wise about genitals, the Dalai Llama and UTIs as they blasted through their set.
