Pop-punk stalwarts Blink-182 to play Houston on reunion tour: 'We’re coming. Tour’s coming. Album’s coming'

The City of Houston has been chosen as a stop on one of the most anticipated reunion tours this decade.

Generation Z favorite Blink-182 – with its classic lineup of bassist Mark Hoppus, guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker – announced the yet-to-be-named tour on Tuesday on their Instagram page, with a show at the Toyota Center slated for July 8, 2023, Houston NBC affiliate KPRC reported. 

“We’re coming. Tour’s coming. Album’s coming. Tom’s coming,” the pop-punk trio proclaimed in a post.

KPRC reported that Blink-182 will call on the Bayou City after performances in Dallas and Austin.

The world tour will kick off on March 11, 2023 in South America and work its way north to the U.S.

Maryland-based hardcore punk band Turnstile will serve as the opening act during the North American leg.

According to Austin NBC affiliate KXAN, Blink-182 will visit a total of four continents through 2024.

The band divulged on Instagram that its first song with DeLonge in about a decade, “Edging,” will be released on Friday.

Blink-182's last performance in Houston was at the 2017 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR).

Blink-182 was founded in the early 1990s in Southern California by Hoppus and DeLonge and became one of the leading figures in the pop-punk craze of the early 21st century that also elevated groups like Green Day and Jimmy Eat World.

KXAN reported that it’s DeLonge’s second reunion with the band, the first time being in 2009 during their self-imposed hiatus.

After DeLonge exited again in 2014, Hoppus and Barker enlisted The Alkaline Trio lead singer Matt Skiba as Blink-182’s permanent guitarist.

People reported that Skiba, who worked on two albums with the group, has departed.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale on the band’s website on Monday at 10 a.m. local time, per KPRC.
