Blink 182 Tour On Its Way And New Album Will Resume After Doing Shows; Mark And Travis Waiting For Tom To Finish Angels & Airwaves Tour
Blink 182 Tour is about to happen and time is the only thing that the band has been waiting on. While Tom DeLonge is busy with touring with his other band Angels & Airwaves, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker has been doing things on their own while the punk band still plays some shows left and right.
On recent news, drummer Travis Barker has been expressing his frustrations with the punk band, as he hasn’t seen any progress with them so far.
In a recent interview, he said: “Honestly, we haven’t really started on anything new at this point. We have a couple shows booked but that’s it. Until all three of us get in the same room and other people’s schedules clear, it’s kinda outta my hands. So I keep myself busy in the studio. I’m in the middle of rehearsals with the Transplants for MusInk and we’re recording a covers album.”
However, earlier this year, Blink 182 teased fans of what looked like to be new tracks as bassist Mark Hoppus has recently posted a picture in his Twitter account of recorded tracks with the caption 'Them blink-182 demos'.

While waiting for Blink 182 to get back on the studio while still being busy with tour and their own stuff, bassist Mark Hoppus steps in the scene by starting a duo with long time collaborator Chris Holmes starting “Nova Rockafeller”.

The band is expected to work with their new album and is expected to tour once the new album is done. The band targets the new record to be done before they headline the Reading and Leeds festival this year.
Blink 182, however, will be headlining a rock, heavy metal and punk festival Amnesia Rockfest on June 20-21 in Montebello, Quebec. The band will be joined by Motley Crue, Alice and Chains, Megadeth, Weezer and many other heavy metal and rock bands. This will be the ninth installment of the said festival.
