Pop Disaster Tour

The Pop Disaster Tour was a two-month (47 shows) concert tour that was co-headlined by pop punk bands Blink-182 and Green Day in 2002. Starting on April 17, the opening band through May 20 was Jimmy Eat World, with Saves the Day finishing the tour through June 17. Several dates also featured indie rock band Kut U Up on a secondary stage. Kut U Up's experiences were documented in the 2003 film Riding in Vans with Boys. The tour was mostly played in outdoor amphitheatres.
