Taylor Swift attracted a massive crowd to the opening night of her Sydney Eras Tour concert Friday, but right next door, another legendary act was playing at the same time to slightly less fanfare.
Punk band Blink-182 performed its own sellout concert to 21,000 at Qudos Bank Arena, which is in the same precinct as Accor Stadium, where Swift hosted 81,000.
US singer and guitarist Mark Hoppus couldn’t help but to troll the masses of Swifties piling into her stadium prior to his own show, telling them they “should’ve gone to see Blink”.
“I’m about to go onstage and I’m really disappointed in everybody here because this is the Taylor Swift show,” Hoppus said in a video posted to Instagram.
“You should’ve gone to see Blink! You should’ve gone to see Blink-182. We’re right next door. You could’ve seen Blink tonight, just saying.”
The tongue-in-cheek video was all in good fun, with Hoppus later sharing a selfie with Swift and his wife Skye Hoppus, which was taken backstage.
Blink-182, who shot to fame in the ‘90s, is set to play its fourth and final show in Sydney Saturday night, again, at the same time as Swift.
The band gave a nod to Swift during its set, performing a mash-up including her hit song We Are Never Getting Back Together.
The trio, consisting of Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker, have reunited for their One More Time world tour for the first time in 10 years.
It’s celebrity-central in Australia right now, with Katy Perry and Rita Ora both surprise A-list attendees Swift’s concert Friday.
Swift’s NFL player boyfriend Travis Kelce jetted here on Thursday, and was given a rock star welcome at the show.
Blink-182 drummer Barker has been joined in Sydney by his wife, US reality star Kourtney Kardashian.
Kourtney shared photos Saturday of the lavish harbourside mansion the family has been staying in during their Aussie stint.
“Thank you @airbnb for such a beautiful home to create memories that I will always remember and cherish,” Kardashian wrote on Instagram.
