Blink-182 could be set to hit the road in spring.
Co-frontman Tom DeLonge reunited with co-vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker for a mammoth world tour in support of their 2023 album ‘One More Time…’, which wrapped in November 2024, and it looks like the pop punk veterans could be planning some more concerts ahead of their headline set at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas on October 18.
Tom captioned a snap from one of their shows on Instagram on Monday (06.01.25): "@blink182 should we play some spring break shows just for the f*** of it? We are board and want to playyyyy - we miss you f****** (sic)"
Last year's album marked the group's first studio project together with the original lineup in more than a decade, with Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba replacing Tom in 2015.
The band - who headlined the UK’s Reading and Leeds festivals last summer - reunited seven years later, while Tom previously revealed how Mark's cancer diagnosis helped mend their friendship and inspire him to rejoin.
He said: "I remember telling my wife, ‘I don’t think I’m ever going to play music again, I don’t think I’m ever gonna tour again.'
"Until Mark told me he was sick, and then I was like, that’s the only thing I wanted to do."
Mark previously revealed the band are in a much “better” place personally than ever before.
He said of the trio’s relationship: "It's actually better than it used to be.
"There was no agenda (when they met up). 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."
Before 'One More Time...', the trio's last LP together was 2011's 'Neighborhoods'.

The Detroit Lions (2-1) came away with a major early-season statement road win against the Baltimore Ravens (1-2), 38-30, in the final game of the Week 3 calendar. Here are our takeaways from a "Monday Night Football" game we didn't want to end. Main takeaway: Shall we meet again in February? Apologies to the NFL's 30 other teams, but we've found our dream Super Bowl LX matchup. Give us Lions-Ravens Part II. The two playoff contenders put on a show in the Monday night thriller, going back-and-forth in a game neither team led by more than one possession until the Lions pulled ahead by 14 with 1:42 remaining in the fourth. Both quarterbacks were at the top of their games, with Jared Goff going 20-of-28 for 202 yards and a great touchdown to wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to tie the game at 21 in the third. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was also excellent (when he wasn't getting sacked), finishing 21-of-27 for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Perhaps we're still reeling from the bleak Chiefs-Giants "Sunday Night Football" game, but it was a treat seeing two excellent teams compete in primetime. We certainly aren't opposed to a rematch in February. Game MVP: Detroit Lions offensive line It's only right to give the entire Lions unit up front love after its brilliant performance. Left tackle Taylor Decker, left guard Christian Mahogany, center Graham Glasgow, right guard Tate Ratledge and right tackle Penei Sewell combined to control the line of scrimmage, preventing the Ravens from sacking Goff. Most impressive was how it fared in run-blocking situations. The Lions gained 225 yards on 37 carries (6.1 yards per attempt), led by David Montgomery, who had 12 carries for 151 yards, including a 72-yarder late in the third quarter. Detroit finished with four rushing touchdowns, tied for the most allowed by Baltimore at home in franchise history. (h/t Stathead) It showed its power on two goal-line scores, driving defenders out of the way to cap two long, 10-plus play drives. It's hard to win consistently in the NFL without a good offensive line, but that's not a concern for Detroit. Based on what it put on tape against the Ravens, it's among the Lions' biggest strengths. Play of the game: Lions 4th-and-1 touchdown to start the fourth quarter Ben Johnson who? Concerns grew this offseason over what the Lions offense would look like without Johnson's play design creativity, but first-year offensive coordinator John Morton put those concerns to rest with a call that would make his predecessor blush at the start of the fourth quarter. Facing a 4th-and-1 inside the Ravens' 5-yard line, Goff handed the ball to St. Brown, who quickly tossed it to Jahmyr Gibbs, leading to a Lions touchdown. It was perfectly executed, showing what a well-coached football team looks like. And the Lions didn't even need Johnson calling the shots.
When Daniel Jones signed with the Indianapolis Colts this offseason, he got some critical advice courtesy of Peyton Manning. Based on Jones’ performance through his first three games, it looks like it paid off. The quarterback has the Colts off to a 3-0 start on the young season and guest on ESPN’s Manningcast during Monday night’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions. With Manning being widely considered the greatest quarterback in franchise history, he is still heavily invested in the franchise. The topic came up of a conversation he had with Jones this offseason, letting him know what to expect from the organization. Of course, he also threw in a few recommendations about things to do in Indianapolis as well. “I gave him some important stuff,” Manning said. “Play golf at Crooked Stick. Go eat dinner at St. Elmo’s Steakhouse. The equipment managers of the Colts are the best in the NFL. Frog and T and Smack. They know what a 12-yard comeback is. They’re gonna line up in the right spot for the quarterback drills. “The equipment manager catches a lot of those passes from quarterbacks in drills. The equipment managers of the Colts, they know what a 16-yard break in is. So I told him he was in good hands with all those places and people.” Manning played for the Colts from 1998-2010 and led the team to a Super Bowl in the 2006 season. However, his brother Eli joked on the Manningcast that Jones was “already the greatest quarterback in Colts history” after his early performance this season. Jones leads all players with a QBR of 85.7 through the first three games, according to ESPN. He has thrown for 816 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions while completing 71.6% of his passes. Additionally, Jones has 55 yards rushing and another three scores on the ground. It’s been refreshing to see out of Jones, who spent the first six seasons of his career with the New York Giants before being released in the middle of last season. He’s been one of the bigger surprises so far this year after beating out Anthony Richardson for the starting job this offseason. We’ll see whether Jones can sustain those numbers going forward this year, but so far it looks like the advice he got from Peyton Manning went a long way. He’ll look to keep the momentum going heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.
The Dallas Cowboys’ defense endured another poor outing in Week 3. The team’s efforts to rebound will likely include a shorthanded unit on offense. CeeDee Lamb exited the Week 3 loss against the Bears with an ankle injury and did not return. It became clear afterwards that further testing would be needed to determine the severity of his injury. The All-Pro wideout now looks to be in line to miss time. “Certainly, he’s got a high ankle sprain and every one of those are different,” Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said of Lamb during a Monday appearance on 105.3 The Fan, via ESPN’s Todd Archer. “We’d love to have him back for Green Bay but at the same time we also got to understand the injury is what it is and we’ll play it out.” The Cowboys will play the Packers in Week 4, so Jones’ comments leave the door open to Lamb managing to avoid any missed time. Based on the reports which have emerged Monday afternoon, however, it appears far more likely Dallas will be without him for a short stretch. A timeline of two to four weeks is being considered internally, as first reported by Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. Since then, both Archer and WFAA’s Ed Werder have pointed to an absence between three and four weeks. Provided those are accurate, Lamb can be considered a lock to at least miss the Cowboys’ upcoming game against a Green Bay defense featuring Micah Parsons. Injured reserve is not being considered in this case, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. As such, Lamb is eligible to return at any time without needing to miss a stretch of four games or longer. The four-time Pro Bowler being back at full strength will be critical for the Cowboys’ offense, of course. On the other hand, it would be sensible to proceed with caution while managing Lamb’s injury. That could especially be true with George Pickens in the fold. Pickens will be counted on to operate as Dallas’ top pass-catching option until Lamb is healthy. It will be interesting to see when that will prove to be the case as the Cowboys aim to improve on their 1-2 start.
The Ryder Cup doesn't start until Friday, but there's already a nasty feud bubbling between Team USA and Team Europe. Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy, who have had their disagreements in the past, are renewing their rivalry ahead of the team competition at Bethpage Black. At the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere in July, DeChambeau told People he plans on playing mental games with McIlroy at the Ryder Cup. "I’ll be chirping in [McIlroy’s] ear this time," DeChambeau said. "Now, if we go up against each other, I mean, you can be sure of it." Rory McIlroy takes beef with Bryson DeChambeau to another level McIlroy apparently wasn't a fan of DeChambeau's Ryder Cup plan. In a recent interview with Ewan Murray of The Guardian, the Northern Irishman took the smack talk to another level. "I think the only way he gets attention is by mentioning other people. That is basically what I think of that," McIlroy said. "To get attention, he will mention me or Scottie [Scheffler] or others." McIlroy and DeChambeau have always had a heated rivalry on the golf course, but this feud goes beyond the tee boxes and greens. This time, McIlroy took a direct shot at DeChambeau, the man—not DeChambeau, the golfer. This could get ugly at Bethpage, and McIlroy knows it. "I think it’s inevitable something is going to happen in New York," McIlroy said. "It might not involve me, but it is inevitable that something will happen, whether like in Rome last time or something else." The Rome incident McIlroy referenced was the spat with Patrick Cantlay and his caddie, Joe LaCava. McIlroy and LaCava had a heated argument on the 18th green after a match, and it even spilled over to the parking lot afterward. We likely won't see another argument that inches that close to a physical altercation, but McIlroy's and DeChambeau's comments don't help matters. Get your popcorn ready for a fiery week at Bethpage Black.
