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.”

Val Blavatnik to Oversee Warner Music Canada in New Role at Warner Music Group

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
