Blink-182.Photo: Jack BridglandGet ready toTake Off Your Pants and Jacket, becauseBlink-182is back in its most iconic form.Blink-182 surprised fans on Tuesday with the announcement of its first new music and world tour featuring membersMark Hoppus,Travis BarkerandTom DeLongesince 2015 with a cheeky video teasing “Edging,” the alternative rock band’s new single, out Friday.Posted to social media, the announcement video features Blink-182’s signature suggestive humor as a series of everyday individuals seemingly anticipate the band’s return. “If I’m being totally honest, I can’t stop thinking about them coming,” says a woman lounging in a beach chair, before a green-haired, heavily pierced and tattooed punker asks later in the clip, “Could you imagine all three of them coming?“At the end of the video, text revealing the upcoming tour, album and single appear onscreen while what sounds like a clip from “Edging” plays in the background. “I ain’t that cool / A little f—ed in the head / They’ll be hanging me quick / When I’m back from the dead / Get the rope,” sings the band.“Edging” marks Blink-182’s first new single featuring the complete trio since DeLonge, 46, exited the band in 2015 to focus on his other project, rock band Angels & Airwaves, formed in 2005. Earlier this year, he fueled rumors of his triumphant return, posting a black-and-white throwbackphotoof the band, which he helped form in 1992, tagging the group in the caption.However, Hoppus later took to hisDiscordchannel to set the record straight regarding DeLonge’s rumored return to the group. “There is no news to share. There is no announcement,” wrote the bassist and vocalist before noting a celebratory occasion for the band, which formed in August 1992. “Today is 30 years of blink-182!“At its 1992 inception, Blink-182 consisted of co-founders DeLonge, Hoppus, 50, and Scott Raynor, who exited the group in 1998. Barker, 46, entered during the making of Blink-182’s breakout 1999Enema of the Statealbum, and they released music and performed as a trio through DeLonge’s 2005 exit. Since then, Hoppus and Barker have created music and toured with Matt Skiba, who’s seemingly now left the band.Kicking off on March 11, 2023, at the Imperial GNP festival in Tijuana, Mexico, and continuing its Latin American leg through early April, the reunion tour will go on for nearly a year, featuring North American shows from May through July, European shows from September through October, and a string of dates in Australia and New Zealand in February 2024.The band’s opening acts include Wallows in Latin America, Turnstile in North America, The Story So Far in Europe and Rise Against in Australia and New Zealand.Earlier this year, Hoppus toldPEOPLEthat Barker and DeLonge paid him a hospital visit following his stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma diagnosis in April 2021. “It was the first time that all three of us were in the same room in like five years,” said the rocker, who’s now cancer-free. “It’s actually better than it used to be. There was no agenda. There were no lingering grudges. It felt very back to what it should be: three friends sitting in a room.“Blink-182.See the full list of Blink-182’s 2023-2024 tour dates below.March 11 – Tijuana, MX – Imperial GNP (Festival)March 14 – Lima, Peru – Estadio San MarcosMarch 17-19 – Buenos Aires, Argentina – Lollapalooza Argentina (Festival)March 17-19 – Santiago, Chile – Lollapalooza Chile (Festival)March 21-22 – Asuncion, Paraguay – Venue TBAMarch 23-26 – Bogotá, Colombia – Estereo Picnic (Festival)March 24-26 – São Paulo, Brazil – Lollapalooza Brasil (Festival)March 28 – Mexico City, MX – Palacio de los DeportesApril 1-2 – Monterrey, MX – Venue TBAMay 4 – St. Paul, MN – Xcel Energy CenterMay 6 – Chicago, IL – United CenterMay 9 – Detroit, MI – Little Caesars ArenaMay 11 – Toronto, ON – Scotiabank ArenaMay 12 – Montreal, QC – Bell CentreMay 16 – Cleveland, OH – Rocket Mortgage FieldhouseMay 17 – Pittsburgh, PA – PPG Paints ArenaMay 19 – New York, NY – Madison Square GardenMay 20 – Belmont Park, NY – UBS ArenaMay 21 – Boston, MA – TD GardenMay 23 – Washington, DC – Capital One ArenaMay 24 – Brooklyn, NY – Barclays CenterMay 26 – Baltimore, MD – Baltimore ArenaMay 27 – Hershey, PA – Hersheypark StadiumJun. 14 – Phoenix, AZ – Footprint CenterJun. 16 – Los Angeles, CA – Banc of California StadiumJun. 20 – San Diego, CA – Pechanga ArenaJun. 22 – San Jose, CA – SAP CenterJun. 23 – Sacramento, CA – Golden 1 CenterJun. 25 – Seattle, WA – Climate Pledge ArenaJun. 27 – Vancouver, BC – Rogers ArenaJun. 29 – Edmonton, AB – Rogers PlaceJun. 30 – Calgary, AB – Scotiabank SaddledomeJul. 3 – Denver, CO – Ball ArenaJul. 5 – Dallas, TX – American Airlines CenterJul. 7 – Austin, TX – Moody CenterJul. 8 – Houston, TX – Toyota CenterJul. 10 – Tampa, FL – Amalie ArenaJul. 11 – Ft.
