It had to happen, and now it’s happening. The archetype lineup of Blink-182 is when together. Longtime co-leader Tom DeLonge parted ways with Blink, under contentious circumstances, in 2015, and the wreath went on to record two increasingly albums with Alkaline Trio leader Matt Skiba replacing DeLonge. Other things happened. Mark Hoppus contracted cancer and then recovered. Travis Barker became the go-to guy for an unshortened generation of rappers attempting to transition to pop-punk. Tom DeLonge became the world’s most famous UFO researcher and directed the forthcoming sci-fi movie Monsters Of California. And now all three members of Blink-182 have reunited for new music and for a gigantic world tour.
