Travis Barker and DJ AM will perform together on New Year's Eve, marking the first time they've shared a stage since surviving the September 19 plane crash that killed four people.
The duo will headline New Year's Nation's Los Angeles New Year's Eve Party at the Lot in West Hollywood, California. Their performance will also be streamed live on the Internet via New Year's Nation's official site, and will be broadcast at other Nation parties across the U.S.
"I'm ready to get back onstage with AM and continue to rock the house," Barker said in a statement. "I'm very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of L.A."
Barker and AM last performed together at a T-Mobile-sponsored event in Columbia, South Carolina, on September 19, just hours before boarding a private jet that crashed and killed four, including Barker's assistant, "Little" Chris Baker, and his security guard, Charles "Che" Still.
The duo escaped the crash, but suffered second- and third-degree burns that have required extensive therapy in burn centers in Georgia and Los Angeles. In October, AM — born Adam Goldstein — had healed enough to get back behind the decks, first making an appearance at a "welcome home" party at the Hollywood club Avalon and then serving as DJ at several Jay-Z gigs, including one at the Palladium the following night.
And earlier this month, Barker's +44/ Blink-182 bandmate (and best friend), Mark Hoppus, told MTV News that the former Blink drummer was "healing incredibly well," and "can't wait to get back on the drums. He can't wait to get back in the studio."
Speculation about a possible Blink-182 reunion was spurred last month by a Hoppus blog post in which he wrote about hanging out with Barker and singer/guitarist Tom Delonge for the first time in years.
