(Picture: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)After much anticipation, Blink-182 have officially reunited with founding member Tom DeLonge - and, to top the good news, the band has announced a 2023 tour and a new single, called Edging.
Delonge formed the band with Mark Hoppus in 1992. Their debut album, Cheshire Cat, arrived three years later.
Travis Barker came aboard in time to record the band’s famous 1999 album Enema of the State, which includes the hit singles What’s My Age Again? and All the Small Things.
The band members went their separate ways in 2005 before reuniting in 2009. However, DeLonge stepped away from the band in 2015.
Fortunately, the trio have “repaired” their years-long friendship after Hoppus was diagnosed with stage-four cancer.
The 2023 tour will be the first time in nearly 10 years that Delonge, Barker, and Hoppus will share the stage together.
Here’s everything you need to know.
