Finally, Blink-182 is making its way back to Milwaukee.

The pop-punk veterans were booked to play the doomed Summerfest in 2020, then canceled plans to play in 2021 after singer and bassist Mark Hoppus was diagnosed with cancer.

Hoppus recovered — and the band welcomed singer and guitarist Tom DeLonge back in the fold last year after he left the band in 2015. The band has toured extensively in 2023, but Milwaukee didn’t get a date.

It will in 2024 — part of a newly announced, 30-city North American tour next June through August, according to the band's website. That includes a Fiserv Forum show Aug. 7 — and the tour will feature music from the band's just-released "One More Time … ," the first Blink-182 album featuring Hoppus, DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker since 2011.

Tickets go on sale at 10 am. Friday at the box office (1111 N, Phillips Ave.) and fiservforum.com, with presales beginning at 10 a.m. Tuesday through the band's website. Prices have yet to be announced. Pierce The Veil will open the Milwaukee show.

Staind will headline 102.9 The Hog's third annual Hog Fest May 3 at Fiserv Forum.

Blink-182 wasn't the only Fiserv Forum concert announcement Monday.

Tickets, starting at $35, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday.
