Blink 182 stuns fans with triumphant return and a major announcement!
Santa Monica, California - Blink 182 stunned the music world with an announcement that they are not only reuniting, but they're hitting the road in support of a brand-new album.
Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker are back together as Blink 182, and we're understandably freaking out.
On what the world thought was just another typical Tuesday morning, the recently reunited band members decided to drop a major bomb by announcing their return with a comical video about them "coming" back.
But the revelations didn't stop at a measly reunification announcement. Blink 182 also announced they have a new song coming out this week, which is from their forthcoming new album that they're taking on the road from 2023 to 2024.
The first taste fans will get of the new Blink 182 will come on Friday with the release of their first single in nearly a decade, titled Edge.
That song will be featured on their first album since releasing Nine in 2019. The title and release date of the upcoming record are not yet publicly known.
Blink 182's 2023-24 world tour
We can only assume it'll drop before the band kicks off their 2023-2024 world tour in March 2023 with a show in Tijuana, Mexico. The band will go on to play Lollapalooza's South American circuit with stops at Lolla festivals in Argentina, Chile, and Brazil before kicking off the tour's North American leg with a show in St. Paul, Minnesota on May 4, 2023.
The US and Canada dates wrap with a show in Nashville on July 16, 2023, and supporting Blink for their North American dates will be Maryland's very own hardcore punk band, Turnstile.
Blink 182 first formed in 1992, with Hoppus breaking off to do his own thing with +44 from 2005-2009, as DeLonge did with Angels & Airwaves. Barker has made a name for himself as a highly regarded producer and collaborator who more recently entered the realm of celebrity gossip by marrying Kourtney Kardashian.
