Mark Hoppus recently spoke to NME about Blink 182's future plans for recording a new album, sessions and touring.

From The Interview

"Early next week I go back to Los Angeles to record an iTunes session for Blink-182, and we're starting to write the new record right now". Hoppus added that, "We're going to tour Australia in February with Blink... [so the] proper tour and the new album probably won't happen for about a year.

Tom Delonge just posted a picture of a studio on instagram with the caption, "Anyone interested in new Blink-182 music? How about the album of our career? 10-9-8-7." Boom.

I would apologize for posting about Blink 182 and One Direction in the same news post ... but I'm gonna. Instead I'm going to say that someone submitted us this image of both band's videos -- in the same location. OMG.

As you probably realized with Green Day announcing their own tour this morning, The speculated Pop Disaster Tour won't be happening. With that being said, Mark is up for the tour if they could make it happen. And if Blink's big news wasn't that, what do you think it is?

From Mark

At this time there is no truth to that rumor, However, that tour was one of the best times we’ve had on the road. Good idea! Let’s make it happen. Pop Disaster 2.0! Somebody call somebody else and tell me when to be ready for the first show.

It looks like there could be a 10 year anniversary of the Pop Disaster Tour featuring Blink 182 and Green Day. Tom Delonge posted on instagram that big news was coming and Green Day said they would be announcing tour dates on Monday. The Pop Disaster Tour website was also updated today as well. Let the speculation begin...

Tom Delonge has joined instagram. Yeah, that's news. Link is NSFW.

Mark Hoppus is recording a new blink song.

Mark

Sorry, not trying to be mysterious. Yes, this is me opening a new file for a blink-182 song. I had three ideas today, all very different. I wish I knew how to operate Logic better. These guitar tracks sound like Frankenstein's monster singing dub step...

We recently told you that Blink 182 might be touring in Australia in February with a fill in drummer. Now, Travis Barker says he is considering getting knocked out to take the flight.

Quote

I’m contemplating getting knocked out and getting on a plane to Australia. I want to overcome that eventually. When I do, I think it’s going to be Qantas. They never had a crash, never had a fatality — knock on wood. It’s something I want to overcome for me — and my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it.

According to a post by Travis Barker, Blink 182 will be touring in Australia in February of 2013 with a fill in drummer.

Travis' Post

Mark and Tom will be there in Feb of next year but with a full in drummer cause I don't fly. Sorry brotha
