Blink‑182 Rejoins Forces with Tom DeLonge for a Mega World Tour
This isn’t your everyday reunion. The original trio—Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and the 46‑year‑old Tom DeLonge—are getting back together after a seven‑year break to crank out a brand‑new full‑length album.
New Music, New Energy
- “Edging” drops Friday, Oct 14, marking the first time in ten years the three have jammed together in a studio.
- According to Hoppus, the vibe this time around is “better” than before—no lingering grudges, no hidden agendas.
- Mark, age 50, says, “I keep writing music, and I’m open to whatever the next phase of Blink is. I’m hopeful for the future. I’m just damn glad to be here.”
The Gig‑Heaven: A Tour for the Ages
- The band’s biggest global tour ever kicks off next March and wraps up in February 2024.
- Stops include the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and first‑ever shows in Latin America.
- Fans can expect a powerhouse line‑up featuring classic hits and fresh tracks.
Back to the Basics
Mark was taking cancer treatment last year, and his friends met in his house to catch up. Hoppus shared that the trio felt “like three friends sitting in a room” and everything was more relaxed than in the past.
What’s Next?
With the new album coming soon and a world‑spanning tour planned, Blink‑182 is not just reliving the glory days— they’re carving out a fresh chapter. Get ready for the nostalgia, the new hooks, and plenty of solos that will have you humming along for hours.
