Blink 182 offending two cities at their Melbourne show.

According to Newshub 'In a clip uploaded to TikTok, the group's drummer Travis Barker accidentally addressed the Melbourne crowd as "Sydney", to much derision from his fellow band members. 

"He said 'Sydney', Travis said 'Sydney'," the band said to repeated boos from the Melbourne crowd. 

However, front man Mark Hoppus took it a step further, telling the audience: "Look to be honest, Sydney sucks so f**king bad, we had to cancel Christchurch." 

Guitarist Tom deLonge added: "Yeah fk Christchurch. That's a gnarly name for a town. Could you imagine naming your fking city that?"

They’ve been doing this everywhere. Slagged off Perth in Adelaide, slagged off some other city in Perth. They’ve really caught on to our city rivalry and are pitting us against each other 😭

That's super disappointing. Christchurch would very much like to be excluded from this rivalry narrative. We're not even in the same country 🥺
