Almost a decade after their last reunion, Blink-182 has announced founding member Tom DeLonge will join back up with the band for a 2023 tour

It appears work doesn’t actually suck all that bad for Blink-182. After a nearly ten-year hiatus, the band has announced founding member Tom DeLonge is returning to the fold ahead for a 2023 world tour and brand new single, “Edging,” due out this Friday. The band is also set to release a new album next year, per multiple outlets.

Alongside Mark Hoppus, DeLonge founded Blink-182 in 1992. In 1998, Travis Barker joined the trio after former drummer Scott Raynor was dismissed. Barker’s first album with Blink-182 was 1999s Enema of The State, which went multi-platinum and boasts some of the band’s greatest hits, like “All The Small Things.”

DeLonge departed the group back in 2015 after some scattered touring and the 2011 release of their album Neighborhoods. The group had initially gone on indefinite hiatus in 2005, but a 2008 plane crash that almost killed Barker (and took the lives of multiple friends) ushered in a 2009 Blink-182 reunion tour. (Luckily, this time around, no horrifying tragedies appear to have befallen the group members in the name of getting the band back together).

Blink-182 broke the big news with a salaciously punny promo. Styled like a medical or political commercial, a variety of different diverse caricatures—a happy couple gardening! A man playing baseball! A beautiful woman sunning by a pool!—express their excitement that Blink-182 is “coming.”

WE ARE COMING! to a city near you!

“We would do anything to make them come,” the gardening woman asserts as her husband thoughtfully agrees. “That’s right honey. Anything.” Whatever this duo may have done to get DeLonge back on stage, wherever they are, they’re deserving of some diplomatic gratitude (read: no questions asked.)
