Blink-182 diss Adelaide’s half-hour time difference at Melbourne show

Blink-182 band members served Adelaide a vicious diss at their Melbourne show this week, poking fun at one of the nation’s biggest gripes about our state.

Beloved US band Blink-182 has waded into one of the nation’s biggest gripes about Adelaide at their latest gig in Melbourne, whipping the crowd into a frenzy.

In a TikTok clip captured at Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday, their next stop after SA, Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus are seen cheekily riffing on the state’s half-hour time zone – a long-held complaint by the rest of the country.

“Adelaide can’t do what you guys do,” Hoppus begins to roars from the crowd.

“Oh, we’re Adelaide, we’re quirky. We’re a half-hour off. F*ck you!,” he adds.

“Get f*cked mate,” DeLonge chimes in.

“Take your half hour, shove it up your f***ing kangaroo’s arse,” Hoppus continues, with DeLonge delivering one final blow.

“Ten per cent of our ticket sales go towards teaching Adelaide how to read.”

Ouch.

It comes after the beloved pop punk band pulled the same hijinx at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Sunday, poking fun at Perth.

In a 20-second video posted to TikTok by a fan, DeLonge and Mark Hoppus kicked up about having to travel to Australia’s west coast.

“We had to go to f***ing Perth before coming here,” one yells to a roaring South Australian crowd.

“They don’t caress women there! Get f***ed, mate! They don’t do s**t! They don’t have emotional bonds..!”

They went on to diss American rock band Creed, with the other saying: “F***ing Perth, here’s a song, they’re just thinking about the band Creed, that’s all they’re doing.”

Fans have been quick to point out the band has done the same in each spot, with not one city immune to the jibes yet.

“They said the exact same thing about Melbourne at the Adelaide show,” TikTok user Matthew Boin said.

“They’ve been doing this at their shows for like 20 years,” Grant Carter pointed out.

The group played to a sold-out Entertainment Centre on Sunday, with Hoppus and DeLonge’s chemistry palpable throughout the night as they joked with each other and worked through their back catalogue of megabits including What’s My Age Again? First Date, All The Small Things and Dammit.
