Blink-182 Reunion With Tom DeLonge: How It Happened

Blink-182's Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker have reunited with Tom DeLonge for a new album and their first tour together in nearly a decade. The band's new single 'Edging' is set for release on October 14 and their world tour will begin in Latin America in March 2023. Blink have also unveiled a new logo and announced their return with a hilarious video, revealing the full set of tour dates. We look back over the last couple of years and our chats with the band to see how this long awaited reunion finally came together.

For me real Blink is Tom, Mark and Scott but it's ok if you like the for tv pop punk version with Travis. I prefer the edgier pre RCA hardcore skatepunk version with Scott. But I literally grew up with them in Poway skating and watching them play the local house parties and high school gym pep rallies. Was a special time and place I was lucky to be a part of.

[@AtomizedSound]

@@quinlanmusic they’ve always been pop punk really with or without Scott. Yeah they leaned more heavily into it after Dude Ranch but still. Travis’ drumming is way better than Scott’s and his contribution really elevated the band

I don't think there's ever been an announcement in music that I've been so happy & hyped about. And it was announced on my birthday. I woke up to an email with the announcement & link to the video.

matt sucked

[@willaiml]

As a Tom DeLonge fan it’s nice to see him back working with blink on new music. He likes to experiment with different styles and sounds that don’t fit into the blink sound and people think he’s a traitor when he does other projects, but what people don’t take into consideration is the growth that comes with that process.

Its always been crazy to me to go back to albums like Dude Ranch and Enema of the State and comparing their voices to Neighborhoods and hearing how similar Mark sounds and how different Tom sounds. On songs like Even if She Falls you can really hear the change

[@kobizarre2003]

@@MacChungus even then, Tom now sounds different to Neighbourhoods, and he sounds different on that to the first two angels records.

[@hsblw_6]

I get you but I reaaaally like the old voice more than the current one. In their last shows in original formation, Tom was so fucking bad. I mean, live shows were never their strongest in terms of quality, but Tom was singing so bad that some performances I've watched were hard to go through until the end.

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

Clearly don't know anything about music or haven't listened to these two vocalists enough. Mark sounds way better than he used to. Tom changed for the bad. I think this might be the first time I've ever seen someone actually praise Toms voice change. Quite strange/disturbing lol. The blind worship has just gone too far here.

To see them all together again now in our 40s thinking it was never gonna happen again after they broke up. hell yea can’t wait for a night of nostalgia and immaturity.

I love it that Tom is back but I feel bad for Skiba he got to join the greatest band ever and now he is out cos the guy who left is back... I have played in bands maybe that's why I feel for the guy

Just hope this means more Alkaline trio albums.

Atlanta here we come!

I'm starting to see the pattern here. Next time they break up, it'll be Tom's turn to suffer a personal calamity for the sake of the band's reunion
