The guys of Blink-182 will hit the road on a short headlining tour this fall

It looks like Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker should have healed from his blood clots by fall, because the band has just announced a slew of fall 2018 North American tour dates. The guys’ headlining tour will kick off on Sept. 12 in Moorehead, Minnesota, and run through a Sept. 25 date in Council Bluffs, Iowa. For information, visit Blink182.com.

The upcoming tour will be Blink-182’s first concerts back since the band announced Barker’s battle with blood clots in June. Because of the blood clots, the band was forced to postpone their Las Vegas residency. In a message from Berker that was posted earlier this month, he’s doing better and on the road to recovery, but isn’t quite ready to get back to drumming.

In other news, Blink-182 has also been writing a new album, which will mark the band’s follow-up to their 2016 release, “California.”
