Blink-182 announced Monday it is postponing its scheduled European tour dates back to next summer in order to concentrate on their first album in eight years. 

"It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce our planned 2011 European summer tour has been rescheduled," read a statement from the band on its official website.  "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."

The new dates have the trek kicking off June 7th, 2012 in Birmingham and winding down July 12th in Liverpool.  The band has also canceled scheduled festival gigs at T in the Park and Oxegen.  Click Here to see the rescheduled dates.
