After months of rumors, Blink-182’s classic lineup of Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker have announced their reunion, heralding the news with new music and a mammoth global tour.
The band will hit North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South America, beginning March 2023 and running through February 2024, with support acts including Turnstile, Rise Against, The Story So Far and Wallows.
A new single, Edging, drops this Friday (October 14), with a new album set to follow next year. It marks the first new music from the band since 2011’s Neighborhoods.
You can hear a snippet of the new track in Blink’s typically tongue-in-cheek teaser, which is potentially NSFW, depending on your colleagues’ sense of humor.
Blink-182’s last reunion ended acrimoniously in 2015 following friction with DeLonge, and two albums with his replacement, Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba, followed: 2016’s California and 2019’s Nine.
The course of Blink’s career changed once again when DeLonge reconnected with Hoppus last year, following the bass player’s cancer diagnosis.
“Mark and I have a long history,” DeLonge told Guitar World in 2021. “When he came out with cancer, it was like nothing else mattered. I just wanted to be there, human-to-human.
“I just wanted to be there as a friend, honestly, like a brother. Yeah, we’ve argued over the years and stuff, but right now who the fuck cares about any of that? All I want to do is ask him, ‘What do you need and how can I help your journey right now?’”
