Fahrenheit-182

As a founding member of blink-182, +44, and Simple Creatures, Mark Hoppus has survived three decades of the ever-changing alternative music scene. From small punk clubs to skyrocketing fame in the TRL era, Mark, alongside blink-182, catapulted pop-punk into the mainstream and has sold over 50 million albums and gained billions of streams worldwide. Hoppus also honed in his hosting skills with his Fuse TV show, Hoppus on Music, and in 2020, launched a weekly radio show with Apple Music. In 2023, blink-182’s latest album, One More Time…, debuted at #1 on the US Billboard album chart and further cemented their enduring cultural relevance. The band have just ended their biggest tour to date selling out arenas, stadiums, and headlining festivals all over the world. Mark lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Skye and his son, Jack.
