Blink 182 will begin recording the follow up to their 2003 self-titled album when they return to the U.S. following their headline appearances at this summer's Reading and Leeds festivals.
It will be the band's first new material since they reformed in February 2009.
"I haven't been this excited and motivated in a long time," said bassist / vocalist Mark Hoppus on his blog. "The future is very exciting and very near!"
