Following their epic Coachella performance, Blink-182 is preparing another amazing surprise for their fans. The band’s drummer Travis Barker shared an exciting update about their next album on social media and said it will be over before they start touring.

Barker took to Twitter on April 30 to write, “album will be finished before we leave on tour.” This tweet comes only a day later after he wrote, “2 Coachella weekends in a row with an unhealed finger. Recorded last 4 songs on the album while I still had stitches. Tour in 4 days.”

Blink-182 is embarking on the world tour on May 4, and they’ll kick things off with a concert at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. This basically means their new album is already done, and it’s safe to expect they’ll perform some of the new songs on tour.

Barker’s album update comes shortly after guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge hyped it up on social media.

“This is the best album we’ve ever made. Buckle up. I’m personally tripping and so proud of what we have created TOGETHER. As one unified force of fun, eternal youth, and most of all – close friends,” he wrote on Instagram.

Blink-182’s upcoming tour will mark the band’s thirtieth anniversary, and it includes a total of 90 concerts across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Oceania.
