Several fans are accusing Blink-182 singer and guitarist Tom DeLonge of using autotune during the band’s 2023 Coachella show.
On Twitter, several fans have posted tweets saying that, during the band’s set, DeLonge’s singing sounded like it is autotuned.
What those fans may likely be referring to is how DeLonge sounded while singing the band’s song “First Date.” Per video footage featuring the band playing the song, which you can find below, if you listen to DeLonge’s voice, you may notice there is somewhat of a robotic tone to his vocals.
That said, in other performances, like when the band performs “All The Small Things,” DeLonge doesn’t sound all that robotic; you can find a video of this performance below as well.
Also below you will find some of the comments that people have posted online accusing DeLonge of using autotune.
Once you’ve had a chance to listen to these performances – where do you stand on the matter? Do you agree that DeLonge’s voice sounds autotuned?

The amount of autotune on Tom DeLonge’s voice during that Blink performance at coachella should be illegal.
