Blink-182 Is Back (Even Tom DeLonge) With A New Album & Tour

The year of punk-rock band reunions continues, and I’m living for it. ICYMI, legendary groups like My Chemical Romance and Paramore have reunited in special ways this year, reminding the world that angsty melodies will never be out of style. Now, the most notable blink-182 lineup (Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus, and Tom DeLonge) are back together with new music and a massive world tour.

On Oct. 11, the rock trio announced their upcoming tour and new music on Twitter. “We’re coming. Tour’s coming. Album’s coming. Tom’s coming,” the band wrote alongside a cheeky scripted video of “fans” revealing all the ways they’ve vowed to make the band, well, come to their nearest city. Seriously, count how many times every person says “coming” and your head might start swimming.

That’s not all, though. The band will also release a new single, “Edging,” on Oct. 14. According to a press release, this riveting drop will mark 10 years since this trio released music together. What could be a to snippet of “Edging” can be heard in the background of the video.

By the end of the clip, the guitar-driven track playing in the background culminates in an explosive crescendo with the lyrics, “I ain’t that cool / A little f*cked in the head / They’ll be hangin’ me quick when I’m back from the dead / Get the rope, get the rope, get the rope, get the rope.” Sonically, it sounds right up the band’s alley.

IYDK, DeLonge left the band in 2015 to “change the world for [his] kids and everybody else’s,” according to Rolling Stone. Following DeLonge’s departure, blink-182 brought on Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba to join the band, and they released two albums without DeLonge: 2016’s California and 2019’s Nine. So far, it’s unclear whether Skiba will join the band on the upcoming tour.

The reunion announcement comes a few months after DeLonge shared a black-and-white throwback photo of blink-182 on Instagram in July and tagged the band in the caption; however, reportedly DeLonge pushed off any blink-182 revival talk in an August Discord post.

“There is no news to share. There is no announcement,” he wrote, according to NME. He also said, if blink-182 had any announcement, fans will hear it through official band “outlets.”

Oh boy, did fans hear exactly that on Oct. 11. I mean, the group definitely kept their promise. Here’s everything you need to know about blink-182’s reunion era, new music, and their upcoming world tour.
