Barker took to social media on Sunday night (August 18) to share an exciting update with fans, writing: “‘One More Time Part 2’ turned in mixed and mastered for you guys”. The update comes after he first teased “Who’s ready for ‘One More Time part 2’” in July.

Last week, before the pop-punk icons took to the stage in Detroit, Michigan, fans spotted a merchandise band playing seemingly new material from its speakers. Written on the side of the van was the date August 19, teasing a big announcement.
It is currently unclear whether ‘One More Time Part 2’ will be a deluxe version of their 2023 album ‘One More Time’, or if it will be an entirely new album, serving as the sequel to last year’s effort.
It might be another part of All In My Head

Barker’s tease of ‘One More Time Part 2’ comes after Blink-182 debuted a new track, ‘Can’t Go Back’, while performing live in Orlando, Florida in June to kick off their North American tour. Blink’s “One More Time Tour” marks the second tour they embarked on following the reformation with all of the original band members.
In a three-star review of the ‘One More Time’ 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.”
Apparently, blink-182’s merch van in Detroit was blasting every new song on ONE MORE TIME… Deluxe around the time the show started!
Here’s a preview of One Night Stand! Sounds rad!
