In 2023, Blink-182 released their first new material since the return of Tom DeLonge with ‘One More Time…’.
‘One More Time…’ entered the UK album charts at number 2, facing tough competition from The Rolling Stones.
The album also hit the top 10 in 22 album charts across the world, including the prestigious number 1 spot on the US Billboard 200.
As it stands, there is no word on a follow-up album. However, with the reunion of the classic Blink line-up, and a world-dominating tour currently underway, it would take a brave person to bet against another new album.
‘One More Time…’ released overall positive reviews, receiving an overall rating of 71% on Metacritic’s aggregate scores.
What does the current Blink-182 lineup look like?
Blink-182 formed in 1992, with the original lineup of Tom DeLonge on vocals and guitar, Mark Hoppus on vocals and bass, and Scott Raynor on drums.
In 1998, Raynor left the band and was replaced by Travis Barker, completing what is widely considered to be the “classic” Blink-182 lineup.
2005 saw the band take a hiatus, before a reunion with the classic lineup in 2009. Following the reunion, DeLonge left the band in 2015 to focus on other career activities, whilst the band continued with Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba filling DeLonge’s place, up until the eventual reunion of the classic lineup in 2022 - the same lineup that is touring today.
Are Blink-182 planning a tour for 2024?
Blink-182 are currently scheduled to continue their 'One More Time… World Tour' into the latter half of 2024, including UK stops planned for Reading and Leeds Festival, as well as Belfast and Glasgow.
It will then head back to the US, before the band finish up the tour in Mexico on 9th November.
Could more UK dates be added for Blink-182’s UK tour in 2025?
As ever, you can never rule out additional dates. Blink-182 are currently scheduled to finish their North American tour in November.
The final planned date for the UK dates of the tour is at The OVO Hydro in Glasgow on 30 August 2024. Fans in other parts of the country will be hoping that the band add more dates in 2025.
Who are the support acts for the Blink-182 tour?
The band have had support from Pierce the Veil and Alexisonfire during the tour, as well as further support from Astronoid, Drain, Ekkstasy, jxdn, Landon Barker, Hot Milk and Live Without.
