In October, Blink-182 released ‘Edging’, the band’s first single with DeLonge since 2012. It will be featured on the band’s upcoming ninth album. The record has yet to be formally unveiled, but DeLonge has already described it as “the best album of our career” as well as their “most progressive”.
Shortly before the new single was released, DeLonge shared a personal message with Skiba, thanking him for his work with the band. Skiba later responded, saying he’s “really happy” for the reunited trio.
In April, Travis Barker shared a promising update about the band’s upcoming album, saying that “the album will be finished before we go on tour.” Blink-182 were originally scheduled to kick off their world tour in March with a tour of South America, but those dates were pushed back to 2024 due to Barker injuring himself while drumming. The band kicked off their tour in May following their surprise last-minute addition to Coachella in April.
