Blink-182 have been forced to postpone all of their 2011 dates until 2012.

In a statement, the group said they were pushing back the jaunt because work on their new album had not been completed.

“It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce our planned 2011 European Summer tour has been rescheduled. When we booked the tour last year, we were confident that we would have the new album out before the Summer. Turns out we were mistaken as the album is taking longer than we thought and won’t be out till later this year.”

They added that they didn’t want to tour again until the album had been released.

The band were also due to appear at T in the park and Oxegen Festival, but have pulled out of both. They have however added three new dates in Dublin, Belfast and Glasgow to replace the gigs that their Scottish and Irish fans have lost.

Original tickets will be valid for the rescheduled dates.
