A short history of the band
blink-182 was formed in 1992 by Hoppus and DeLonge. The pop punk band went on hiatus between 2005 and 2011 before returning in 2011 with the album Neighborhoods and the tour that followed. Matt Skiba replaced DeLonge in 2015 after he left the band earlier that year. After a seven-year hiatus, DeLonge resumed his position at blink-182 in 2022. On the recordings for “California” and the current album “Nine” Matt Skiba can be heard instead of DeLonge.
