Blink‑182 appear to be teasing Take Off Your Pants and Jacket 25th anniversary activity
Published in Entertainment News
Blink‑182 have ignited a wave of excitement online after dropping what fans believe is a clear hint that they're gearing up to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their 2001 album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
The pop punk icons - Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker - posted the album's artwork on social media, prompting speculation that a full‑scale tribute to the era could be on the way.
The band shared a series of posts featuring the album's iconic colour‑coded symbols, along with snippets of behind‑the‑scenes footage from the era.
They also shared a link to their mailing list to sign up to hear more. The album's anniversary is fast-approaching on Friday (12.06.26).
None of the members have confirmed what the teasers mean, but the timing has not gone unnoticed.
The record, which became one of the defining pop‑punk releases of the early 2000s, marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, as they transitioned to mainstream stardom.
With hits such as The Rock Show, First Date and Stay Together for the Kids, the record remains a fan favourite and a cornerstone of the genre.
In 2019, they honoured the 20th anniversary of Enema of the State by performing the record in full.
Fans will have to wait and see whether it will be a live celebration or a special release.
The chart-topping rock band reunited after Mark was diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and the group now cherish the time they spend together.
He told The Independent: "Everybody really respects and cherishes one another.
"We all love Blink and what we built, and we don't want to mess that up anymore. We have a common goal."
Mark's health troubles led to him mending his relationship with Tom.
Discussing his memoir Fahrenheit-18, he explained: "I didn't want to portray Tom as a d*** or a demon or anything, even though I felt like it at the time.
"Looking back, I tried to write everything really even-handed and try to put myself in Tom's shoes to understand better where he was coming from."
