While we all thought blink-182’s first show back with Tom DeLonge would be in May following Travis Barker’s recent surgery, the pop-punk legends are firing back into action sooner than expected… in fact, they’re playing live tomorrow!

Tom has taken to social media to confirm that he, Travis and Mark Hoppus will be back onstage tomorrow (Friday, April 14), with a surprise appearance at Coachella.

The frontman revealed the news by writing, “See you at Coachella on Friday 6:30pm Sahara Tent” along with a photo of a teleprompter and the infamous lyrics to blink classic Family Reunion.

Coachella also shared their stage times for the weekend, along with the blink-referencing caption: “Take off your pants and jacket.”
