Blink-182 are back with a classic cast. The California pop punks announced a new single, album and tour simultaneously on Tuesday, October 11th. Guitarist and founding member Tom DeLonge returns to the band.
The single “Edging” is scheduled for release on Friday October 14th. On the planned world tour, the band, which now consists of singer and bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker in addition to DeLonge, is also coming to Germany. In September 2023 they will play concerts in Cologne, Berlin and Hamburg. The exact dates can be found in the article below. Tickets should be available from Monday.
“We come. A tour is coming. An album is coming. Tom is coming,” the band said on Instagram. Previously, Blink-182 had fueled the rumor mill by deleting all previous posts on the platform.
As recently as August, Hopper said he was “open to anything” about Blink-182’s future, but denied the band had reunited with DeLonge. DeLonge was replaced in 2015 by Matt Skiba, lead singer and guitarist for punk rock band Alkaline Trio. Together they released the albums CALIFORNIA and NINE. The band didn’t mention Skiba in the announcement, but it’s likely he won’t be part of the group with DeLonge’s return.
