While waiting for Mark Hoppus to finish up, I cornered Tom Delonge to ask him about the Blink reunion among other things. Glad we haven’t lost our edge in our old(er) age.

Mark tweeted:

Blink-182 is finishing tracking the song “up all night” next week. Stoked. It will be released soon thereafter. Stay tuned

This photo appeared on blink-182’s pickRset, and it was titled “sneak peak”, so it appears that it is some new designs for some merch. Check it out here.

With headliners Weezer and Blink-182, organizers say 35,000 free tickets will be given away to the newly branded Virgin Mobile FreeFest, to be held Aug. 30 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md.

I caught up with Mark Hoppus just after a recent Blink 182 rehearsal to find out what’s up with the reunion tour. We got burritos and he broke it down. For the record, I heard the last few songs of their set and they sound better than ever

The world needs Blink-182. That’s an undeniable fact.

The Southern California punk rockers are bringing “fun” back to rock music this summer with their highly anticipated reunion tour. Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker are officially back. It’s a momentous occasion for so many twenty-somethings who fondly asked “What’s My Age Again?” while watching American Pie in 1999. There are a lot of them too! They’ll be filling up venues to see Blink-182 rock all summer, and there’s no doubt that San Diego’s finest will deliver the goods.
