Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker Reunite for World Tour and New Music
Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker are reuniting for their first Blink-182 tour together in nearly 10 years. What’s more, they’ve announced the release of a new single called “Edging,” that’s set for release today (October 14th).
The huge tour includes stops in North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand starting March 2023 through February 2024. For the North American leg, Blink-182 will be joined by Turnstile. The trio is also set to headline Lollapalooza’s Latin American festivals in Argentina, Chile, and Brasil, as well as the return of When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas.
DeLonge departed Blink-182 in 2015, making way for Matt Skiba, who performed on the band’s two most recent albums: 2016’s California and 2019’s NINE. In the meantime, DeLonge has tended to his other band Angels & Airwaves and tried to prove aliens do exist; Barker has recorded with everyone from Avril Lavigne to Young Thug and tied the knot Kourtney Kardashian; Hoppus spent the better part of 2021 successfully battling lymphoma.
Oddly enough, the silver lining to Hoppus’ diagnosis is that it apparently prompted him and DeLonge to re-connect. Hoppus reflected on his cancer treatment in a recent interview with People, saying that the trio had spent some time together before his chemo began, and they were in “a really great place right now.”
The bassist added: “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.”
