Following their recent teases of studio time, it seems blink-182 are gearing up to release a new album in 2016.

Drummer Travis Barker all-but-confirmed the news in an Instagram comment (printscreen below) on a photo of him playing drums for Antemasque. It’s not the biggest of surprises, mind - they’ve been in the studio for some time now, and have announced that they’re set to tour next year too.

The band have recruited Alkaline Trio frontman in the place of founding member Tom DeLonge, who left - or was possibly kicked out of - the band (again) at the start of the year.
