US rockers Blink 182 are back after a five-year break.

Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus and Tom Delonge announced they will be taking to the road alongside Weezer, Taking Back Sunday and Panic At The Disco.

Bass player and singer Mark explained how the All The Small Things stars got back together.

He said: "It really just started as us reconnecting as friends and not so long after that we started talking about where we were going and we all wanted to tour and continue with Blink and keep making music and do what we love."

Drummer Barker was recently involved in a plane crash in the US that saw his PA and security guard killed. He escaped with third-degree burns.

The tour kicks off in Las Vegas on July 24 and with global album sales of more than 20 million behind them, the boys are sure to be welcomed back with open arms.
