This forthcoming record will follow the band’s 2023 album One More Time…, their first studio release after Tom DeLonge rejoined Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker to restore the classic lineup. Multiple outlets note that the new album is expected to arrive sometime after the current tour cycle, with 2027 often mentioned as a likely release window, though no title, tracklist or exact date have been announced so far.

Berlin 2027: Waldbühne show with Billy Talent

While work continues in the studio, Blink-182 have added a notable German date to their live plans. German music outlet Rolling Stone reports that the band will play an open-air concert at Berlin’s Waldbühne on June 8, 2027, bringing Canadian rock band Billy Talent as the opening act. Ticket presales for this Berlin show are scheduled to begin on June 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. local time via the German promoter’s channels. Rolling Stone Germany ticket and date announcement

This Berlin concert forms part of a wider European run in 2027. Reports from German and Central European live listings mention Blink-182 appearing at major festivals such as Rock am Ring in Nürburg and Rock im Park in Nuremberg in early June 2027, before heading to the Waldbühne headline date in the German capital. For fans in Germany, the combination of these festival slots and the standalone Berlin show offers several chances to see the band’s reunion lineup on stage within a single summer.

Pop-punk legacy behind the new record

Blink-182’s upcoming album will add to a catalog that already includes influential records such as Enema of the State (1999), Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) and their self-titled Blink-182 (2003). Across these releases the band helped define late-1990s and early-2000s pop punk by pairing fast, melodic guitar work and punchy drums with catchy hooks and often self-aware, humorous lyrics.

Later albums like Neighborhoods, California and Nine pushed their sound toward more polished production and occasionally darker themes, while still relying on Mark Hoppus’s and Tom DeLonge’s vocal interplay and Travis Barker’s hyper-precise drumming. The 2023 album One More Time… revisited that core dynamic, mixing nostalgic references with contemporary arena-ready arrangements and reaffirming their status as one of pop punk’s marquee acts.

Current career status and next confirmed live date

As of August 20, 2026, Blink-182 are an active touring and recording band, with the next officially confirmed live date for German fans being their June 8, 2027 headline show at Berlin’s Waldbühne alongside Billy Talent.
