Blink-182 Just Teased the 25th Anniversary of Take Off Your Pants and Jacket

Blink-182 just lit the fuse on something, and if you grew up on Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, you're going to want to pay attention. The band dropped a cryptic post across their official social pages today, June 8th, linking fans to a sign-up page tied to the album's 25th anniversary. No details. No dates. Just a link and a tease.

If you want in on whatever's coming, go sign up on their official site before it's too late.

Why This Album Still Hits

I'll be real, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket was the album that made a lot of us feel like pop-punk could actually take over the world. Released on June 12, 2001, through MCA Records, it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. That's not a small thing for three guys from San Diego making songs about house parties and heartbreak.

The album gave us "The Rock Show," "First Date," and "Stay Together for the Kids", all of which landed in the top ten on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. Produced by Jerry Finn and recorded largely in San Diego, it was the follow-up to Enema of the State and proved that Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker weren't a one-album fluke. They were the biggest band in punk.

The original TOYPAJ tour is legendary in its own right, with support from New Found Glory, Jimmy Eat World, Alkaline Trio, and Midtown. That run was cut short due to the September 11 attacks, which forced the band to postpone its final dates. Twenty-five years later, this album still means something to a lot of people.

The Breadcrumbs Were Already There

Honestly, if you've been paying attention, this wasn't totally out of nowhere. During the Missionary Impossible Tour last year (which kicked off August 28, 2025, with Alkaline Trio as special guests on every date), Blink-182 dusted off a handful of Take Off Your Pants and Jacket deep cuts for the first time in over 20 years. "Roller Coaster" and "Online Songs" both made it into the setlist, tracks they hadn't touched since 2001. That felt intentional.

The band also kept busy into early 2026, playing a limited run of U.S. dates that included a set at the Innings Festival in Tempe, AZ on February 22nd and a headline slot at Coachella on April 10th. So they've been active and very much in album anniversary mode.

The Reunion That Made This Possible

For anyone who needs a refresher: Tom DeLonge left Blink-182 in 2015, and it honestly felt like the classic lineup was done for good. What brought him back was Mark Hoppus's lymphoma diagnosis in 2021. That was the moment that cut through everything. The two reconnected, old disputes got resolved, and on October 11, 2022, DeLonge's return was officially announced alongside news of a new album.

That album, One More Time..., dropped October 20, 2023, through Columbia Records. The reunion tour that accompanied it was massive, selling out arenas, amphitheaters, and stadiums across the world, including the band's first shows in Australia in over a decade and their first-ever dates in Latin America. The fact that we're even here, talking about a TOYPAJ anniversary celebration with the original trio intact, is something nobody would have predicted five years ago.

So What's Actually Coming?

That's the million-dollar question. Nothing is confirmed yet. No tour dates, no cities, no venues, no ticket on-sale info. Just the sign-up and the tease. But given the pattern here, a 25th anniversary tour with TOYPAJ played front to back feels very much in play. A deluxe reissue or special edition of the album wouldn't be surprising either. Could be both.

For now, sign up on Blink-182's site to make sure you're first to hear whatever the announcement is. You can also set up alerts on Ticketmaster or Bandsintown so you're not scrambling when dates go live.

If you haven't seen Blink-182 live yet with this lineup, or if TOYPAJ was the album that made you fall in love with this band, don't sleep on whatever's coming. This one's going to move fast.
