Blink-182 Announces Reunion, World Tour and New Album
Blink-182 has announced an extensive 2023-24 global tour and also shared the news that a new album is on the way.
Founding member Tom DeLonge has returned to the lineup, which also includes Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker. The band will release a new single, "Edging," on Friday. You can see a complete list of Blink-182's tour dates below.
This will be the first time Blink-182 has performed with all three classic-lineup members since 2015 when DeLonge left the group for a second time. "I just want to go out and play Blink songs," Hoppus told Rolling Stone at the time. "I want to go out and play the songs that we've been spending the last 20 years of our lives writing. That's what Travis and I want to do. If Tom doesn't want to do that, which obviously he doesn't, that's OK." Blink-182 announced an indefinite hiatus in 2005, with each of the members pursuing solo endeavors. They reconvened in 2009. Following DeLonge's second departure, guitarist and singer Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio stepped in, eventually becoming an official member of the band.
DeLonge maintained that he anticipated rejoining at some point. "People ask me every single day, 'Go back, go back, go back,'" he told Billboard in 2016. "And I tell people I haven't forgotten anything and I'm grateful for that band and for those guys in my life. And I think about that band every single day of my life — sometimes multiple times a day. ... We just need time apart because we all want different things at this time."
In 2021, Hoppus revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer. Later that same year, he announced he was "cancer-free." In 2022, he said that DeLonge and Barker had come to visit him at home before he began chemotherapy. "It was the first time that all three of us were in the same room in like five years," Hoppus told People.
"It's actually better than it used to be. There was no agenda. There were no lingering grudges. It felt very back to what it should be: three friends sitting in a room. Everybody's in a really great place right now."
