As Blink-182 maps its future, and the end of the Honda Civic tour (Oct. 15), one factor has put a kink in its international touring plans: Barker’s decision to no longer fly. For the postponed European dates next summer, “I’ll be taking my Queen Mary ship over,” Barker says. Hoppus adds that the band likely won’t tour again before next summer, but hopes to visit places like Australia and Japan soon.

The trio will also spend time on solo endeavors - Hoppus will return to “Hoppus on Music,” DeLonge will continue working with Angels & Airwaves, and Barker hopes to wrap a new Transplants album shortly. They have lofty individual goals outside of Blink-182, but none of them believes that “Neighborhoods” is the end of the band’s recording career, or just a stopgap before their next large-scale tour. DeLonge describes the group as “funny and relaxed, and exactly back to where it was before things got crazy.” Barker says the three are “cracking jokes, like it always was.”
