Calling all Blink-182 fans, where are yewwww? The pop punk veterans’ reunion tour is officially happening in 2023, and Tom DeLonge is coming along(e) for the ride!

The worldwide series of shows will begin in March 2023 and extend all the way to February 2024, featuring five dates in the UK this time next year.

Blink-182 have also announced that a new single, entitled Edging, will be released this Friday on October 14 – it is Tom’s first release with the band for a decade.

The tour will also mark the band’s first set of live concerts with co-founder Tom, 46, since before he left to work on solo music and side-projects in 2015.

This will also be Blink-182’s first tour since Mark Hoppus revealed his battle with stage 4 lymphoma. He revealed he was cancer free in September 2021.

Blink-182 have spawned numerous side-projects and, since DeLonge initially departed, have toured with Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba as their third member.

Blink-182’s 2023 tour is a global one. It will begin in Mexico in March 2023, before journeying through South America for the next two months. The tour will then continue in May, with a string of consecutive dates across the United States.

The band will then make a brief stopover in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland before heading into continental Europe for dates in Germany, Sweden, and Spain, amongst many others.

Which members of Blink-182 will be involved?

The band’s most iconic line-up of Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and, of course, Tom DeLonge will be going along on the tour. Mark and Tom first formed the band in 1992, exactly three decades ago.

Travis Barker was the last to join up. He replaced the band’s first drummer Scott Raynor before their breakout third album, Enema of the State. It is not expected that any additional members of the band’s numerous side-projects – including Angels & Airwaves, +44, and Box Car Racer – will be joining the touring line-up.

By all accounts, it appears that Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio, who stepped in for DeLonge when he left the band in 2015 and has been writing, touring, and performing with the All the Small Things hitmakers ever since, will also not be coming on the 2023 tour.
