One More Time...[2] is the upcoming ninth studio album by American rock band Blink-182, set to be released on October 20, 2023 through Columbia Records. The album marks the return of guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, reuniting their best-known lineup for the first time in seven years. After bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus received a cancer diagnosis in 2021, the three reconvened to overcome old disputes, leading to DeLonge rejoining. It is also their first album to be produced by drummer Travis Barker.

One More Time... has so far been promoted by five singles; "Edging", "One More Time", "More Than You Know", "Dance with Me" and "Fell in Love".

Background

Guitarist Tom DeLonge returned to the group after a seven-year absence.

Blink-182 gained mainstream success in 1999 with their third album Enema of the State, and continued this success in the new millennium with Take Off Your Pants and Jacket in 2001 and their untitled album in 2003.[3][4] During this time, its core members, including guitarist Tom DeLonge, bassist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Travis Barker, began to develop considerable discord between each other, with DeLonge at its center. This eventually led to the band's 2005 breakup, which was announced as an indefinite hiatus to the public.[5] While Hoppus and Barker continued to collaborate together, DeLonge cut all ties with his former bandmates until 2008, when Barker was involved in a plane crash to which he was one of two survivors.[6] Ultimately, the trio decided they still wanted to make music together, and announced their return the following year.[7]

Following their reunion, the band released Neighborhoods in 2011, and an EP titled Dogs Eating Dogs in 2012.[3] During this time, DeLonge became more and more invested in non-musical activities, which eventually led to his second departure from the group in 2015.[8] Hoppus and Barker however decided to keep the band together this time, enlisting Alkaline Trio singer and guitarist Matt Skiba to take DeLonge's place.[9] The new iteration of the band proved popular, scoring their second number-one album (and first in 15 years) on the Billboard 200[10] and a Grammy nomination for its 2016 effort California.[11] The band also proved to be more active during this time, releasing their eighth studio album Nine in 2019 and touring extensively during that summer celebrating the 20th anniversary of Enema of the State.

In early 2021, Hoppus was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma, and underwent extensive chemotherapy to be cancer-free later that year.[12][13] His diagnosis prompted a secret meeting between him, DeLonge, and Barker to reconvene and overcome old disputes, which ultimately led to DeLonge's return to the band.[5] Skiba was unaware of DeLonge's return until it was publicly announced in 2022, though he had begun to question whether he was still in the band.[14] Despite this, he showed both excitement and gratitude for the trio, and thanked fans for his time in the band. DeLonge reciprocated by privately reaching out to Skiba on social media to thank him for his time with the band.[15][9]

Release

The album's promotional cycle began with the announcement of the band's next world tour, as well as their reunion with DeLonge. News of his return had swirled in fan communities for months,[16] but was officially announced on October 11, 2022 alongside the news that a new album was in the works. Later that week, the album's first single, "Edging", was also released, and pre-order sales for vinyl variants of the album also went up, though the LP lacked a title or release date.[17] "Edging" performed well in the US; it became their longest-running number one hit on Billboard's Alternative Airplay, and the band's highest-charting single on the all-genre Hot 100 in eighteen years.[18] Its music video also was nominated for Best Alternative Video at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.[19]

Due to the nature of DeLonge's return, the LP was considered to be greatly anticipated.[20][21] In September 2023, posters emblazoned with the album's title and the band's logo were plastered on walls in major cities across different countries, including New York City, Toronto, Chicago, Sydney, Berlin, and more.[22] The group's official site was updated with a "stall" page—a visual of a graffiti-tagged bathroom, with a digital clock icon counting down to the release of the album's second single.[23]

On September 18, 2023, the album's name was officially announced with a release date of October 20, 2023. Later that week, the album's title track and "More Than You Know" released on September 21, 2023.[24] A fourth single, "Dance with Me", was released on October 5, 2023.[25] The fifth single, titled "Fell in Love", was released on October 13, 2023,[1] followed by the sixth single, "You Don't Know What You've Got", which will release on October 18, 2023.[1]

Touring

Main article: World Tour 2023/2024

The band is supporting the release with a large headlining tour between 2023 and 2024.[26] A North American leg commenced mid-year,[27] before the album's release, with festival slots at the inaugural Adjacent Festival in New Jersey,[28] and When We Were Young in Nevada.[29] In September, the band embarked on a tour across Europe, with a series of dates in Australia—the band's first in eleven years—commencing in February 2024.[30] Another leg of shows in Latin America, the band's first time playing there, will start in 2024, including headlining slots at Lollapalooza in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil.[31] The band also made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2023, marking DeLonge's first live appearance with the group since his return.[32] The following weekend, singer Frank Ocean was unable to perform during his time slot, so the band made an impromptu second appearance at the festival in his place.[33]

Twice, multiple tour dates have been postponed, both times because of medical concerns involving Barker. The Latin American leg was initially slated for the first half of 2023, but was postponed after he sustained a serious finger injury that required surgery.[34] Later that year, shows in Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin were postponed after Barker returned to the United States for an emergency surgery for his wife.[35] During a break in the European leg of tour, he also revealed that he later tested positive for COVID-19, although the illness did not affect any dates.[36]

The North American leg of the tour became their best-performing outing yet, grossing over $85 million.[37]
