blink-182 just played their “only show this whole year”

Having spent a great deal of time on the road since releasing 2023 awesome’s ONE MORE TIME… album, blink-182 are seemingly set to take the rest of this year off (or away from the public eye, at the very least).

The pop-punk legends hit the stage for their only gig of 2026 on February 22, headlining Innings Festival at Tempe Beach Park. While fans didn’t know it in advance, five songs into the setlist, right before DANCE WITH ME, bassist Mark Hoppus announced to the crowd, “This is our only show this whole year, so welcome to it.”

Does that mean Mark, Tom and Travis will be working on new music now? Or perhaps they’re simply just having a well-earned break? In July 2025, Tom did tell Kerrang! that, “I’ll probably start doing some demos for blink here shortly as well. I’ve got to start working on recording stuff now, because I’ll be gone for a bit of time when I would normally start next year…”

Watch Mark’s brief announcement at Innings below:
