Additionally, the trio have announced their biggest tour to date, with concerts confirmed in the UK, Europe, North America Australia and New Zealand as well as their first-ever shows in Latin America.

Back in July, Matt Skiba said that he didn’t know if he was still a part of Blink-182. The Alkaline Trio vocalist joined the band in 2015 as a replacement for guitarist Tom DeLonge who left “to change the world for my kids”.
DeLonge then hinted that he’d rejoined the group later this summer, before Hoppus said the original trio were in “a really great place right now”.
The three members met up prior to Hoppus beginning his chemotherapy treatment in 2021. “It was the first time that all three of us were in the same room in like five years,” the bassist recalled of that reunion.
Hoppus was diagnosed with 4-A diffuse large B-cell lymphoma last year. He told fans in September 2021 that he was cancer-free.
“It’s actually better than it used to be,” Hoppus said of Blink’s relationship in August. “There was no agenda. There were no lingering grudges. It felt very back to what it should be: three friends sitting in a room.”
He added: “I keep writing music, and I’m open to whatever the next phase of Blink is. I’m hopeful for the future. I’m just damn glad to be here.”
