Travis Barker Teases That New Blink-182 Music Is ‘Mixed and Mastered’
Are you ready for “One More Time”… one more time? Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker sent fans’ heart racing over the weekend when he teased new music from the punk-pop trio in a post on X in which he promised that fresh tracks are almost ready to go.
After tweeting “Who’s ready for One More Time part 2” on July 22, Barker followed up on Sunday (August 18) with an update, writing, “One More Time Part 2 turned in mixed and mastered for you guys [present emoji].”
At press time it was unclear if Barker was referring to a full-length sequel to the band’s ninth studio album, last year’s One More Time…, which featured the singles “Edging,” “DanceWith Me,” “Fell in Love” and the emotional title track acoustic ballad; a spokesperson for the band had not returned a request for comment at press time on whether Barker’s post was in reference to a full-length sequel album or a second part to the previous album’s title track.
One More Time… was the band’s first album marking the return of guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, who left Blink for a second time in 2015. Back in June, the trio debuted a previously unreleased song, “Can’t Go Back,” during the opening night of their current tour at the Kia Center in Orlando. The group, which also includes bassist/singer Mark Hoppus, will take the stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in England on, respectively, Friday (August 23) and Saturday (August 24), and play four other UK shows before returning to the U.S. for a run of September and October festivals gigs.
