what's happening with Blink-182

WATCH: Blink-182 Mash-Up Simple Plan’s ‘I’d Do Anything’ With ‘Dammit’

Blink-182 are currently on tour through North-America and during a recent show, they mixed in a bit of a Simple Plan song into their own song Dammit.

What makes this a little more special is that Blink-182 did this during their show in Montreal, Canada. This is the city that Simple Plan originates from.

The part that got mashed up was the chorus of I’d Do Anything during Blink-182’s Dammit. This choice shouldn’t be much of a surprise since Mark Hoppus appears on the Simple Plan track.

Simple Plan later tweeted a video of the performance showing their gratitude towards Blink-182. Check out the tweet and performance below and let us know what you think of it!
