The Pop Disaster Tour was a two-month 2002 concert tour that was co-headlined by popular pop-punk bands blink-182 and Green Day.
The opener up through May 19 was Jimmy Eat World with Saves the Day finishing the tour. Kut U Up was also seen in these parts, albeit on a secondary stage. Kut U Up's experiences were documented in the 2003 film Riding in Vans with Boys.
The tour played mostly in outdoor ampitheatres.

Green Day was the first of the headliners to perform, with their set usually lasting about an hour and twenty minutes. Their set list was criticized by hard-core fans for being predictable and close to that of previous tours, while more casual fans celebrated the hits and it went aways towards restoring Green Day's commercial powers. The band did not perform an encore, just playing all of their songs in one set.
As the band has done at many of their shows, when they play a cover of Operation Ivy's "Knowledge", they brought audience members to play the song.
- "Maria"
- "Longview"
- "Welcome to Paradise"
- "Hitchin' a Ride"
- "Brain Stew"
- "Jaded"
- "2000 Light Years Away"
- "Knowledge"
- "Basket Case"
- "She"
- "King for a Day"
- "Shout!"
- "Waiting"
- "Minority"
- "When I Come Around"
- "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)"
The show ended with blink-182's performance. Their set usually lasted about an hour and five minutes. They only peformed an encore a few times, for example on 13 July at Tweeter Center Chicago, as their encore they played "13 Miles".
