Blink-182 recently called off their concerts in Kansas City and St. Louis “due to illness.” The band announced the news on social medi although they didn’t confirm who specifically was affected.

Blink-182 is currently on a U.S. tour, which is now set to continue on Aug. 12 in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena. The group performed at Lollapalooza in Chicago last weekend and will head overseas later this month to headline Reading & Leeds festival in the U.K.
Blink-182 had a heartwarming reunion of their classic lineup in 2022 and released One More Time, their first album together since DeLonge departed in 2015, last year. After DeLonge left the group in 2015, he was replaced by Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba, who appeared on two Blink albums, 2016’s California and 2019’s Nine.
Hoppus told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 last year, “I didn’t know that Blink would ever get back together or that I would ever share a stage with Tom. I told management, I told Travis, I told everybody, ‘I’m not setting foot on stage again with that dude. Not a chance.’”
Blink-182 have uploaded clips of four new songs from the One More Time deluxe edition. The album could be released later this month. During the After School Radio episode about the band, Mark Hoppus mentioned an August release date. He said that new songs will be released, and not leftover songs. Some fans believe it might be similar to the band’s ‘California’ album where they ended up making way more songs than they intended for the deluxe, and are still contractually obligated to promote One More Time, so they can’t make it a new album.
