The Reunion Tour of Blink-182
Blink-182 announced their reunion tour last year, with co-frontman Tom DeLonge rejoining the band after a seven-year hiatus. The tour is set to begin on March 11 in Tijuana, Mexico, and will conclude in February 2024, featuring concerts in the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America.

The Future of the Band
Blink-182 has been busy working on their upcoming album, which Tom DeLonge teased on Instagram as the best album we’ve ever made.
