Blink-182 is returning to North America one more time. Just days after the release of the trio’s new album, Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker have announced plans to bring their new songs on the road in North America next year.

Tickets for the One More Time Tour — named after the band’s Oct. 20 album — will go on sale this Friday, Oct. 27, at 10 a.m. local time for each venue. The trek will kick off June 20 in Orlando, after which the rock group will make stops at both stadiums and arenas across the United States. The leg will end with one show in Canada; Aug. 15 at Rogers Centre in Toronto. Billboard Canada Ed. Note: That lone Canadian date also features reunited Ontario post-hardcore heroes Alexisonfire in their lone support date of the tour. - Richard Trapunski

Produced by Live Nation, the band’s 30-date North American tour features a hometown performance at Petco Park in San Diego as well as shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Citi Field in New York, Fenway Park in Boston, and more. Blink also has dates scheduled in Australia, New Zealand, Peru and Mexico throughout the first half of 2024.

Pierce The Veil, a fellow rock band native to San Diego, will join the North American leg as a special guest.

The tour announcement ties a bow on an exciting year for the “All The Small Things” musicians, who announced in October last year that DeLonge would be reinstated as part of the band. The singer/guitarist had previously left the group twice, once in 2005 and again in 2014. Their new album One More Time… marked the first time Blink’s classic lineup had been in the studio together in a decade and features 17 Barker-produced tracks, including Alternative Airplay No. 1s “Edging” and “One More Time.”

University of Alberta Study Finds 87% of Canadian Musicians View Generative AI ‘Negatively’

The Western Canadian university surveyed 263 Canadian musicians about their thoughts on AI’s rampant rise and the use of streaming services as an artistic tool.

A new study from the University of Alberta surveyed 263 “working Canadian musicians,” asking them about their experiences working in the evolving music industry. As respondents discussed an increase in the industry’s tech advancements, namely generative AI, many were not optimistic.

Of the 142 participants who highlighted the rapid use of AI, 87% viewed it “negatively.” Many shared they are actively avoiding the tool in their music, with some explaining that it’s devaluing human-made work. As AI continues to affect the music industry, participants say that it’s becoming a challenge to bring in new listeners and earn a livable wage.
