blink honda civic tour

10th Honda Civic Tour

"We are psyched to be headlining the Honda Civic 10 th  Anniversary tour!"

The 10 th  Annual Honda Civic Tour saw Blink 182 team up with My Chemical Romance to tour the United States and Canada. It meant a lot to Blink as they were also on the very first Honda Civic Tour.

The tour is notorious for its intense, fun atmosphere, alternative music and THE CAR which is given away to a fan. Each year, a band gets to design and customise their own Honda Civic car, and 2011 was the year of Blink 182. Mark Hoppus teamed up with Max Gramajo, who designed album artwork and T-shirts for the band, to create something amazing.

The car was painted in matte black with the 'Blink 182' logo on the bonnet. Next, came their infamous bunny logo along the side, which had been altered and influenced by street and Japanese art. In an interview, Tom spoke about the history of the bunny:

"16 years ago, it started with the Alice in Wonderland bunny  […] When we were younger and we'd go to punk rock shows, you'd be running around beating yourself up in the pit; it was kinda what you'd do to get out some of your angst, so the bunny seemed to be dancing and running round in a circle pit. Then we modernised it when we got back together […] but it's still young and angsty and that's a large part of our band."

USA First Leg

Honda Civic decided to start the tour off in New Jersey, where Blink 182 and My Chemical Romance hit the stage for the first time. The bond between the two bands was immediately confirmed with typical Blink banter storming the stage. They cut to the chase with Tom screaming,

"What do you guys think of Gerard Way? Isn't he just dreamy? You know what I'm talking about girls... dreamy!"

Some European fans were unhappy and there was controversy over why Blink played the Honda Civic and postponed the European part of their 20th Anniversary Tour. Blink-182 reassured the fans, letting them know they wanted to release a new album before hitting Europe.

On this leg of the tour, the boys were supported by Manchester Orchestra, an indie rock band from Atlanta. The band said of Blink 182,

"It's fun man, they're all really kind people. It's kind of crazy. And they're definitely a band that represented a huge part of our childhood. I used to hide Take Off Your Pants and Jacket from my mom all the time!"

The Honda Civic tour visited Canada for two dates: Toronto on 17th August and Vancouver on 31st. The band brought their jokes and teasing straight across the border. Tom began in Toronto by burping into the microphone, saying sorry then chastising the audience with,

"Grow up, Toronto! I said excuse me! You're so immature."

The banter continued and Blink-182 broke the silence about their new album,

"It's been eight years. Don't fucking rush us or we'll break up again. We'll break up right now!"

Canadian reviews praised all of the bands on tour. Blink-182 could do no wrong.

USA Second Leg

After a month of touring, you would think the band would be tired and some enthusiasm would be lost. But this is Blink-182. Tom announced he fucked everyone's mom in Miami, then both Mark and Tom turned their affections to Travis, showing they still have the same bond they had at the very first Honda Civic tour.

Mark: "I'd be shirtless too if I had a chest and abs like Travis!" Tom: "I'm not saying I would fuck Travis. I'd make sweet, gentle love to him!"

A range of legendary, Blink-182 chosen bands joined them and My Chemical Romance: Rancid, Alkaline Trio, H2O, Jimmy Eat World, Neon Trees, and Matt and Kim. Some reviews complained about My Chemical Romance's attitude on stage, saying Blink-182 were much more thrilled to be on stage. Blink bias? We don't mind! Fans and music reviewers raved about the shows, with one commenting,

"Blink 182 played like they were still 20 year olds making snotty punk music, and I mean that in a good way. Mark Hoppus bounced around the whole time and it didn't look like he aged at all in the last 15 years. Drummer Travis Barker was furious on the kit and Tom DeLonge sang like he had something to prove."

Each date of the Honda Civic tour ended with an extra treat for the audience, as Travis was hoisted into the air on a chariot to do a solo piece. Like a Roman god, he drummed over the audience. The other boys returned to the stage to close the night with Family Reunion.

Ranking Honda’s Weird Band-Themed Civic Compacts From Cringe To Awesome

• By Thomas Hundal
• January 26, 2024
• 80 Comments

For the better part of 20 years, the Honda Civic Tour intended to put cars kids like in front of music kids like. Some seriously big artists toured under this banner, and most of the time, each headlining artist got a Civic themed after them, which was usually given away in a contest.

Think of it a bit like Honda’s equivalent of Scion’s concert, CD sampler, and record label initiative . Sure, blog digging for obscure stuff wasn’t Honda’s jam, but Warped Tour bands were. Well, they were up to a point, because as with many initiatives meant to target youth, the Civic Tour developed a bad case of “How do you do, fellow kids?” Still, with a multitude of customized Civics to ponder, let’s take a closer look.

We’re only including Civics that were indisputable centerpieces of tour promotion. Sadly, this means Nick Jonas’ bike doesn’t count, and it also means that the FL5 Civic Type R on The Future X’s tour doesn’t count because, well, it had to share the spotlight with an HR-V. However, so many of these Civics are so bad, so let’s rank them from worst to best. We’re going to use three sensible criteria here: How good is the Civic, how good is the music, and how well does the visual treatment fit? This is all completely subjective and so you can feel free to tell us why we’re wrong.

Maroon 5 FG4 Si

This is a fail on all fronts. The kids weren’t into Maroon 5 in 2013, and that whole year was a rebuilding one for the Honda Civic. Frankly, we were all sick and tired of Adam Levine, and this Civic seems to feature the same sort of effort Maroon 5 put into their music around that time. Would it have killed Honda to throw on a set of aftermarket wheels, or at least color-match the center caps? This one’s getting sent straight to the shadow realm, even if it is an Si.

[Counterpoint:  That body of yours is absurd ! – MH]

Everclear EM2

Speaking of questionable graphics, in the current day, this 2001 Civic Coupe looks like a $1,000 example that someone went hard in the rattle cans on. It looks particularly crap, but hey, it seems vaguely era-appropriate, and Everclear makes better music than Maroon 5.

Black Eyed Peas FA3 Hybrid

This also belongs in the “dear god, no” camp. While the eighth-generation Civic Hybrid is a good car, the Black Eyed Peas allegedly make “music.” Yeah, this would be particularly embarrassing to be seen in. Enough said.

[Ed note: Another counterpoint, when you have a young daughter, if you ever do, you can appreciate the odd Black Eyed Peas song. Mazel Tov! – MH]

Linkin Park FG4 Si

This would’ve ranked lower if it weren’t for Hybrid Theory, Meteora, and the Numb/Encore crossover with Jay-Z. Look, 2012 wasn’t a great year for the Civic, this one looks particularly wanky, and Linkin Park’s discography is a mixed bag. However, the highs are high, and the custom car itself is more artistic than Everclear’s Civic. Still, could you imagine being seen in this?

Blink 182 EM2

Well, this is basically a stock Honda Civic with a few dealer-installed accessories and some stickers. Sure, it’s a bit amateur-ish, but it certainly hasn’t aged like milk. Arguably the most boring branded Civic, this one blends in, and Blink-182 circa 2001 had quite the discography. Yep, this one’s buoyed almost entirely by the music and the fact that worse branded Civics exist. How about that?

3BallMTY FG3

I have nothing against 3BallMTY or the ninth-generation Honda Civic Coupe, but something about the argyle-like pattern feels very local delivery service. It’s curiously bland for what should be a bit of an art car, so the whole thing gets a shrug.

American Authors

Speaking of bland, American Authors’ Honda Civic looks like the packaging to an iPod Touch accessory. It’s less boring than 3BallMTY’s livery, but still oddly corporate. Also, while I’d like to congratulate American Authors for winning the fluke indie hit sweepstakes of 2013, but “Best Day Of My Life” is music for car commercials. Next!

Charlie Puth FK8 Type R

This might seem like an odd pairing, but “See You Again” and fast Honda Civics go together like Corona and excessively tight vests. Sure, the graphics on this thing look positively amateurish and the music is bland, but the FK8 Type R is so good that you might be able to drive it with tinted windows instead of, I don’t know, a bag over your head.

One Direction FG3

Sure, the 2015 Honda Civic isn’t the most inspiring Civic ever made, and One Direction is a divisive boy band, but this graphics package is fun in an Easter Egg way. This is a car that’s hard to hate, I just wish it were an Si or something.

Grouplove and Portugal, The Man FG3

It was properly tough choosing between this and the One Direction livery, but I have to give it to Grouplove and Portugal, The Man on discography alone. Two great liveries, two okay Civics, but the music stacks the deck. Them’s the breaks, I guess.

Fall Out Boy FA3 Hybrid

Remember when Fall Out Boy was just a pop-punk band from Chicago? By 2007, the four-piece act had already pushed its way to the forefront of the scene, but that whole pop-punk thing was scrappy enough for the Honda Civic Tour. Unfortunately, the elevation we saw on Infinity On High just isn’t present on this Civic. It’s not the most cringe example, but it certainly isn’t the least. On the plus side, the Civic Hybrid was an efficient and well-built car, and Fall Out Boy made some great stuff.

Paramore FG2 Si

Paramore makes some great music. The eighth-generation Civic Si is a great sport compact car. This particular Paramore-branded eighth-generation Civic Si? It hasn’t aged the greatest. Still, how about that redline, though?

However, the aging of this Civic doesn’t change the fact that This Is Why was one of the best albums of 2023. If you haven’t listened to it, I highly recommend giving it a spin. It’s a mature post-punk project that’s clever, catchy, and well-written overall.

Demi Lovato FC1

Hey, not bad. Now we’re getting somewhere. Like much of Lovato’s discography, this particular Civic is easy to like, although not massively memorable. Look, the bar is low here, and this thing exceeds it by quite some margin.

Sure, it might be too new to have really aged in or out of anything, but that’s not a bad thing when it comes to longevity. After all, 2016 was eight years ago.

OneRepublic FL5 Type R

I don’t know how OneRepublic got the memo, but taking the cartoonish FK8 Type R and amplifying its existing attributes isn’t the worst way to create a custom Civic, especially when you look at what happened for Everclear. After all, the Type R already had some red accents, so why not add a whole lot more red? Is the execution flawless? Absolutely not, but I’ve seen worse. Granted, this one’s buoyed substantially by the fact that the FK8 Type R is phenomenal. “Good Life” is also a solid feel-good pop song, but it’s not enough to get this thing on the podium.

Panic! At The Disco FA3 Hybrid

Alright, now we’re getting somewhere. Admittedly, the discography of Panic! At The Disco is a mess, but this Civic comes from the act’s Pretty, Odd album run, and the psychedelia-inspired nature motifs rock pretty hard. With a little more low, I’d actually rock this.

New Found Glory EP3 Si

It’s hard to tell from the press photo, but like the Good Charlotte Civic, this thing’s been extensively kitted-out, with a widebody, two spoilers, a fade-out paint job, and ghost flames. This is 2003 in a bottle, just like New Found Glory’s particular brand of pop-punk. Sure, the music isn’t phenomenal, but the car is a wicked snapshot of a moment in time. So why doesn’t this beat that other Civic from 2003? Simply put, Good Charlotte has a slightly less checkered history.

Blink-182 FG4 Si

Blink-182 returned to headline the Honda Civic Tour in 2011, and man, what an improvement over the band’s last branded Civic. Sure, matte black is stale, but that cartoon rabbit is looking fresh. It’s not the most labor-intensive Civic ever made for the concert series, but it’s up there with the better examples.

I wouldn’t be surprise if someone eventually co-opts a take on this livery for a drift car or something, given how it’s simple but translates well.

Dashboard Confessional EM2

Yeah, this works. While Dashboard Confessional’s reputation for somewhat sappy love songs seems at odds with this Civic’s appearance, it’s all just right for 2004. Body kit? Check. Loud but not entirely ridiculous graphics? Check. Multi-tone paint? Check. Lip kit and cheap wheels? Check. This right here is a tuner time capsule done well. Points are docked for being an EM2, but that’s about it. Hands down, this is the best Civic coupe ever created for the tour.

Good Charlotte EP3 Si

Weirdly, this isn’t the only time Honda co-opted Good Charlotte, as “Motivation Proclamation” was on the promo CD for the Acura RSX. However, this is most certainly the most brash pairing of that particular band and this particular brand. Flares? Check. Skirts? Check. Wings? Check. Chrome wheels? Check.

Like the historical Civic lineup, Good Charlotte has had some bangers like “The Anthem” and “Little Things,” so why hasn’t this collab ranked higher? Well, the green script on each door hasn’t aged well at all, and the rear end could use a pop of color. It’s a good effort, but a better all-around package exists.

Incubus EP3 Si

Who’d have thought that Incubus could have what is undeniably the best music-themed Honda Civic? The Calabasas alt-rockers first headlined the Honda Civic Tour in 2002, and that year’s specially branded Civic feels right on-brand for the time. Flashy wheels? Check. Loud graphics? Check. Lip kit? Check. It also helps that Incubus has some solid hits. “Drive,” “Wish You Were Here,” and “Anna-Molly” still get the people going. Mind you, the first Incubus Civic isn’t perfect — the band’s name on the rear bumper is far too large — but it’s the best of the bunch.

So, if you had to drive one of these band-themed Civics, modifications and all, which one are you picking? As ever, make your voice heard in the comments below. Now if you excuse me, I’m gonna go queue up “Nice to Know You” on Spotify.

At the risk of being accused of being a Grumpy Old Man ™, that selection of bands by Honda really was lowest-common-denominator schlock for the early aughts.

Frankly I liked most of them. Of course the orange prison stripped one made me think Everclear Grain Alchohol was the sponsor, the 1st Blink 182 Civic looks like they just used some temporary tattoos from a fan club membership drive. But in closing the Civics were all much better than the band names and the music. I mean are any of them still together? Do any of them play stadiums, and fill them? Frankly it is the modern Era of Disco. A music mistake we are all better of forgetting. Heck most bands I never even heard of.

I’m holding out for the Decemberists edition 1919 Stanley Steamer.

Only if it comes with a Chimbley Sweep to clean the soot out of the burner.

“However, the aging of this Civic doesn’t change the fact that This Is Why was one of the best albums of 2023. If you haven’t listened to it, I highly recommend giving it a spin.”

Mmm, no thanks. In my mind, Paramore hasn’t put out a good album since Brand New Eyes (2009). Same as how Fall Out Boy’s last good album was Infinity On High (2007). I still unironically listen to Hybrid Theory and Meteora on the regular, Blink-182, New Found Glory, etc. My music tastes are stuck in 2010 and prior, lol.

Nah, I’m with Thomas on this. This Is Why is great.

My friend’s Bouncing Souls-themed 1993 Dodge Caravan kicks all of these cars asses.

Wow Thomas, thank you for bringing me back to the early 2000s EP3 Forums, we hated on those for years.

Matt And Kim Amped To Open Blink-182, My Chemical Romance Tour

Matt and Kim have been recording material at the brand-new Converse Rubber Tracks recording studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. MTV News went there to catch up with the indie/pop duo, and while they mostly kept quiet about any new songs, they did talk to us about their recent Sidewalks Tour as well as their new opening-act gig on the [article id="1664437"]Honda Civic Tour with Blink-182[/article] and My Chemical Romance.

The animated Brooklyn-based musicians couldn't seem to contain their excitement about joining Blink and MCR.

"This year has been just a nonstop year," Matt gushed.

"We didn't want to stop!" Kim said of their headlining Sidewalks Tour. "We wanted to add more dates, we wanted to keep going."

Matt and Kim will begin touring with Blink-182 and My Chemical Romance this month, and they plan to bring it, knowing that some fans at the venues may not be familiar with their music yet. "At our shows, it's not just like one type of audience member," Matt explained of the kinds of crowds they're used to seeing. "It's people who are into all different kinds of music."

As for playing in front of the fanbases of two different bands on the tour, Matt and Kim aren't fretting.

"Even though musically we might sound a bit different than those two bands, our energy is in the same place," Matt said, referring to the three groups' shared love of stage-diving, crowd-surfing and moshing.

"There's a big difference between playing for, you know, 3,000 people at our show to playing to a 20,000-person place, where people might not know any of your songs," Matt admitted with a smile. "But I feel we play a simple enough music, so upbeat and melody-driven, that on a first listen, people can almost be singing along to the songs by the end."

Fans can catch Matt and Kim on the Honda Civic Tour with Blink-182 and My Chemical Romance beginning September 7 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.
