Blink-182 took a break from stadiums to help raise money to rebuild Los Angeles after the recent wildfires — and also reconnected with a familiar face.
The pop-punk band performed an intimate sold-out show at the Hollywood Palladium on Thursday to benefit L.A. fire relief following last month’s devastation. The concert will be donating 100 percent of the net ticket proceeds to the Pasadena Humane Society, California Fire Department, Lafd Foundation and Arc Firefighter Fund.
Opening the Live Nation-produced show was Alkaline Trio, featuring frontman and guitarist Matt Skiba. This marked the first time that Alkaline Trio has played on the same bill with Blink-182 following Skiba ending his seven-year run with the latter group after the 2022 return of original guitarist Tom DeLonge alongside bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker.
Skiba joined Blink-182 onstage midway through their set to perform the 2016 single “Bored to Death,” which features Skiba on the original recording.

blink-182 headlined their own benefit concert to support Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts at the Hollywood Palladium on Thursday night (February 13th), and they reunited onstage with former member Matt Skiba, whose band Alkaline Trio opened the show.
With blink-182 having announced Alkaline Trio as the support act, there was speculation going into the show that Skiba would join his onetime blink bandmates onstage. That’s exactly what happened when Skiba reunited with the band for “Bored to Death” from 2016’s California, the first of two albums Skiba appeared on during his tenure with the pop-punk act.
Skiba replaced original blink-182 singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge in 2015, but exited the band in 2022 when DeLonge returned to the lineup.
Leading into “Bored to Death,” singer-bassist Mark Hoppus jokingly introduced a “contest winner” who earned the opportunity to play with the band. That turned out to be Skiba, who performed the song alongside Hoppus,...

The three-member group — comprised of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker — will put on a special relief benefit with special guests Alkaline Trio. The Feb. 13 show will support L.A. fire relief with 100 percent of ticket proceeds going to Pasadena Humane Society, California Fire Department, Lafd Foundation and Arc Firefighter Fund.

Kim Kardashian has boarded the holiday music train with a breathy cover of “Santa Baby.” The rendition of the classic Christmas tune was produced by Travis Barker and is accompanied by a lo-fi music video directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis.
The clip, filmed to look like a classic VHS home video and set at a chaotically bizarre Christmas party, features a cameo from Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin. Imagine David Lynch directing a Skims commercial.

Blink-182 guitarist and UFO theorist, Tom DeLonge, has weighed in on the surge of alleged “drone” sightings on the East Coast, suggesting that they are reminiscent of UFOs sighted in the 1960s.
Taking to Instagram, DeLonge wrote a (possibly misconstrued) description of the aircrafts. “The drones that are being discussed, can hover for six hours, and then disappear once they are spotted,” he said. “This is why it’s been hard to get facts from any US Agency. Some of them can even move into the ocean, and then back up to the air. Which is called ‘transmedium travel.’ A very hard thing to do.”
Continuing, DeLonge compared the episode to UFO sightings described in a 1965 document from the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base. “It seems like it’s a repeat of exactly what happened in the ‘60s,” he wrote.

For the past month, Cenat’s been doing his non-stop “Mafiathon 2” stream, trying to break the record for most paid Twitch subscribers (with some of that money going to charity, too). Snoop Dogg, Glorilla, and Lil Uzi Vert have all made cameos, and yesterday Barker stopped by to celebrate another subscriber milestone.

Stranger Things and Ghostbusters: Afterlife / Frozen Empire actor Finn Wolfhard recently made his feature directorial debut with a horror comedy called Hell of a Summer, which he directed alongside Billy Bryk, who also appeared in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray had the chance to watch the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and gave it a 5/10 review than can be read at This Link. Hell of a Summer has secured a U.S. distribution deal with Neon, and will receive a theatrical release sometime in 2025 – and earlier this week, we learned that Wolfhard and Bryk have already lined up their second genre project, as they’re writing a remake of the 1999 horror comedy Idle Hands, which they might end up directing as well. The Ghostbusters franchise’s Jason Reitman is on board to produce the film. But what does original Idle Hands star Devon Sawa think of this announcement?...

Exclusive: HarperCollins imprint William Morrow has snapped up North American publishing rights to a new memoir from Jay Stratton, former Director of the U.S Government’s secretive UFO program, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, who led investigations into Uap and non-human intelligence for 16 years.
Also greatly enthused about this timely title is producer Dan Farah of Farah Films (Ready Player One), which has the rights to produce any television or film adaptation.
During his time working as a senior intelligence official, Stratton led countless investigations of Uap and non-human intelligence, including the now famous “Tic Tac” Uap encountered by Navy fighter pilots and the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group in 2004.

Welcome back to Dead Time. The purpose of this column is to inform and entertain, when possible, but also to hopefully get you to open your mind to new possibilities about the world around you.

Don’t call it growing up, but Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is giving fans a unique look at his pre-concert fitness regimen and wellness-focused mindset as his punk band continues its One More Time tour.

Anger is an emotion Parker Cannon knows well. It’s what punches through the first three albums from his California-based pop-punk band, the Story So Far. It’s what carries his deeply personal lyrics into full-throttle screams, and it’s what compels throngs of fervent fans to fling their bodies toward the stage during the band’s shows. But for the Story So Far’s first album in six years, I Want to Disappear, the lead singer and songwriter was forced to reckon with a feeling that ignited his anger in new ways: grief.

Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan and Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst are both getting into the podcast game, with new shows on a podcast network led by Bill Maher.
Maher revealed the deals in a new interview with Variety, noting how well he connected with the two musicians after they appeared on his own show, Club Random, last year. “I never knew Fred or Billy,” he said. “But something good happens there, and I can feel like I’m best friends for life with somebody who I just talked to for an hour and a half.

Tom DeLonge fell victim to the 95-degree heat during blink-182’s set at the Asunciónico festival in Paraguay on Tuesday night (March 19th). The singer-guitarist reports that he suffered a heat stroke, causing him to collapse to his knees and vomit. Even so, DeLonge managed to recover and finish the show.
Along with a photo of himself from the concert, DeLonge wrote on Instagram, “This was about 1 min before heat stroke hit. Fell to my knees, everything went blurry, then wobbled to the side of the stage and vomited for a bit. Super fun. @markhoppus and @travisbarker made up for the lost time… man, this was not something I’ve ever felt before. 95 Degrees at a 11pm on stage. But… I made it back and finished the show. Cause that’s what Navy Seals do… @blink182.”

In late 2011, William Eubank took a job as second unit director of Allen Hughes’ Broken City. Hughes hired Eubank off of early footage from his feature directorial debut, Love (2011), which is a Kubrickian arthouse film that he made in collaboration with Tom DeLonge and his band Angels & Airwaves. The second-unit gig was especially meaningful because it not only landed Eubank his DGA card, but it also marked the beginning of his career-long trajectory with Broken City’s co-lead, Russell Crowe, who’s now leading his action-thriller, Land of Bad.
In 2016, while Crowe was on the promotional trail for Shane Black’s The Nice Guys, Eubank met up with him to discuss his now long-gestating fantasy actioner, World Breaker, however, despite Crowe’s interest at the time, the filmmaker was pulled away when Underwater got the green light from 20th Century Fox.

It was a strong week for rock music on the Billboard 200 albums chart, led by Blink 182‘s new studio album “One More Time.” It’s the first album from the complete trio of Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge since DeLonge left the group in 2015. Read all about this week’s chart here at Billboard.com.
“One More Time” debuted with 125,000 equivalent album units based on its combined record sales, individual track sales and online streams, with traditional sales making up the majority of its total. This is the third number-one album of their career, following “Take Off Your Pants and Jacket” (2001) and “California” (2016). Their last album, “Nine” (2019), achieved 94,000 units in its first week, but that was with Matt Skiba as part of the lineup instead of DeLonge.

Blink-182 have added two new bonus tracks — “Cut Me Off” and “See You” — to their big classic lineup reunion album, One More Time.
Both songs are gigantic blasts of pop-punk angst, though each with its own particular flourishes. “See You” bolsters the palm-muted power-chord chug with sky-high synths and even an atmospheric breakbeat sample. “Don’t let us be over, I’ll wait here forever,” Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus sing on the chorus. “You can’t burn us with your flame/I’ll see you anyway.”

The original lineup of Blink-182, Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and Tom DeLonge, have returned with their first album together since DeLonge left the band in 2015, titled ‘One More Time’.
In a new video with interviewer Zane Lowe, the bandmates got candid about their past disagreements and how Hoppus’ diagnosis with stage four Lymphoma helped them see the bigger picture.
“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 with that dude again,” said Hoppus about his falling out with DeLonge.
“Then, honestly, I got sick. Just by random chance, Tom hit me up,” Hoppus continued. “I’m like … by the way I have Lymphoma, and Tom snapped into this person and immediately was like, called me every morning, ‘What’s going on?...

After years of turmoil, including drummer Travis Barker’s 2008 plane crash, singer-bassist Mark Hoppus’s successful battle with cancer, and the departure (and recent return) of singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge, Blink-182 takes what feels like a victory lap on One More Time… The first single, “Edging,” is a pop-punk stomper that, at least superficially, bears all of the Blink hallmarks. But the rest of the singles have been a mixed bag: The über-schmaltzy title track reflects on the group members’ friendship with rather prosaic lyrics—“Do I have to die to hear you miss me?”—while the fiery “More Than You Know” channels post-hardcore while also making reference to the tragedy that frequently surrounds the band.
This dynamic is indicative of the album as a whole: For every triumphant return to form, there’s an uninspired dud. On the opening “Anthem Part 3,” Blink-182’s renewed energy is immediately palpable. Two songs later,...

Blink-182 have officially released One More Time…, the first album to feature Tom DeLonge alongside Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker in over a decade. Check it out below via Apple Music and Spotify.
DeLonge left Blink in 2014, as the band was preparing to record the follow-up to their 2011 album Neighborhoods. Hoppus and Barker released two albums, California and Nine, with the singer-guitarist’s replacement, Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio. The pop-punk veterans announced the return of DeLonge last year with the single “Edging,” then recorded One More Time… during their reunion tour. Given their history, it makes sense that the group said the record covers “themes of tragedy, triumph, and most importantly, brotherhood.”
Produced by Barker, One More Time… also features the singles “More Than You Know,” “Dance with Me,” and “Fell in Love,” as well as its title track.

On their ninth album, Blink-182 are still pondering the riddle that’s always been at the center of their antic-filled career: “What’s my age again?” This time, the answer is pretty clear: old in life, but young at heart. The songs on One More Time are steeped in the sharp perspective of grown-ups who have gone through some shit and wonder how the hell they got where they are. After all, it’s been 12 years since they released an album with their signature lineup of bassist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker,...

We were all pleasantly shocked when Tom DeLonge decided to re-join Blink-182, but you’d be hard-pressed to find someone more shocked about the reunion than Mark Hoppus, who just feels lucky to back on stage at all. In a recent interview, he revealed how chemotherapy forced him to “re-learn” how to be a musician again.
Talking with his bandmates to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Hoppus explained that he was certain he’d never share a stage with DeLonge again following the band’s highly-publicized fallout — that is, until, Hoppus was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma back in 2021. Though Hoppus said he and drummer Travis Barker always stayed in touch, it was cancer that brought DeLonge back into his “tight-knit” circle.
By September 2021, Hoppus was cancer-free, but it took a while to get back to normal: “I was still fucking hollow, just a shell,” he continued. “[I had a] shitty,...

Blink-182 are hung up big time on their new song, “Fell in Love,” the latest offering from the band’s upcoming album, One More Time.
“Fell in Love” is a bit of jangly alterna-pop, the bright guitars paired with some effervescent synths. Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus share vocal duties, reminiscing about those exciting, slightly stupid moments in an early relationship — until the inevitable hammer of doom drops: “It’s fucking with my head/Now we can never pretend, we can only be friends/Remember the time, we fell in love.

It’s a Friday in October, which means there’s a new Blink-182 song. Check out “Fell in Love,” the latest single from the band’s upcoming reunion album, below.
“Fell in Love” is a bubbly ode to (you guessed it) love, as Tom DeLonge recalls the beginning of a relationship over jubilant hand claps and some classic “Na na na”s. “Late night, feeling kinda lonely/ Drive home and no one’s waiting for me/ I don’t miss the days before I fell for you,” he croons, before he and his boo got together and “made out til the sun came up.”
The track appears on One More Time…, Blink’s first album with singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge in 12 years. The LP is out in full October 20th, and pre-orders are ongoing. So far, the band has shared the title track, as well as album cuts “More Than You Know” and “Dance with Me.
