Blink-182 have kicked off their 2024 North American tour last night (June 20) and debuted a new song along with their classic deep cuts.
The band – comprised of the original line-up Tom Delonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker – took over the Kia Center in Orlando Flordia last night to kick off their 2024 ‘One More Time’ tour.
Comprised of 26 tracks, the night’s setlist included deep cuts such as ‘Obvious’ and ‘M+M’s’ which were played with Delonge for the first time since 2013. They also performed ‘When Your Heart Stops Beating’ and ‘There Is’ which are tracks from their side-projects +44 and Box Car Racer respectively. The performance of those two songs marked the first time the band has played songs from either side project during a Blink-182 set.
They also took the time to debut a brand-new song titled ‘Can’t Go Back’. To wrap up the show, Delonge and co performed ‘What’s My Age Again?’, ‘First Date’, ‘All the Small Things’, ‘Dammit’, and their recent chart-topper, ‘One More Time’ back to back.

Blink’s “One More Time Tour” marks the second tour they embarked on following the reformation with all of the original band members. It is in support of their ninth studio album ‘One More Time‘.
In a three-star review of the LP, NME shared: “Towards the end of the album, DeLonge asks a question many listeners will have in their minds as they hit play – “2023, who the fuck are we?” They aren’t all that far away from who they’ve always been – three friends wanting to make some noise and have a riot of a time doing it. Although they’re not exactly revolutionising pop punk, this was likely never the goal. Chances are, the fans just want the old Blink back anyway, and in 2023, they’re just as fun as ever.”
Earlier this year, the band revealed that they introduced brand new production elements, including a 360-stage set-up.
