The pop-punk band have been confirmed as topping the bill for the twin German festivals next summer, with both events posting on Instagram yesterday (June 5), saying: “THEY ARE COMING…”

Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park take place on the same weekend every year, with the former being held at the Nürburgring motorsport complex in Western Germany and the latter at the Zeppelin Field in Nuremberg. Most artists play both festivals over the course of the weekend.

Next year’s events are taking place from June 4 to 6, and it will be the band’s first appearance at either festival. Tickets go on sale for next summer’s festivals at 12pm on Tuesday (June 9) – you will be able to get yours  here .

This year’s editions of the festivals are happening this weekend, with headline performances from Linkin Park ,  Iron Maiden ,  Limp Bizkit ,  Bad Omens ,  Papa Roach  and  The Offspring , and the likes of  Tom Morello ,  A Perfect Circle ,  Mastodon ,  Three Days Grace and The Pretty Reckless  also on the bill.

In February, Blink-182 played what they declared what was their only show of 2026 at the Innings Festival in Tempe, Arizona, although they did play a private show for Mercedes in Los Angeles on May 19.

The band’s last album was 2023’s ‘ One More Time… ’, which itself was their first record in over a decade with the original trio of  Mark Hoppus ,  Tom DeLonge  and  Travis Barker . Their last major tour was the ‘ Missionary Impossible ’ tour last year.

Drummer Barker is set to be the subject of the new documentary  Louder Than Fear , which will be released on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally on August 13, after its world premiere at Tribeca Festival on June 13.

Directed by Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer, the doc explores Barker’s life and career,  the 2008 plane crash that almost claimed his life , and the “raw and redemptive journey” he embarked on afterwards.

Barker also recently joined Clipse on stage at Coachella 2026 , and  worked on the new theme song for the show Rooster , alongside  R.E.M. ‘s  Michael Stipe ,  Andrew Watt  and Josh Klinghoffer.

Bassist Hopper, meanwhile,  announced that Australian rock band Violent Soho were reuniting during a recent show in Sydney.
