Blink-182 is releasing a new album and launching a new world tour, and they let fans know they were “coming” by releasing a very interesting video.
The promotional video for their new album and tour was released to Twitter Oct 11 and is a coy play on words that depicts a series of people letting people know they’re “coming,” and it’s exactly the sexual innuendo you think it is. The video starts off with a woman in a bikini lying poolside who says, “If I’m being totally honest, I cannot stop thinking about them coming.” The video then pans to a young female skateboarder that says, “I’ve tried hundreds of different ways to make them come.” Fans spoke, and the band listened. They’re about to “come” all over the world.
We’re coming. Tour’s coming. Album’s coming. Tom’s coming. Tickets on sale Monday. New song “Edging” out Friday. https://t.co/lJmgXqI4ab pic.twitter.com/7y0ZoYTcQc

The 58-second video has been viewed well over 2.6 million times in less than 24 hours, and shows no signs of slowing down.
The epic tour will see the comeback of Tom DeLonge, who left the band 7 years ago, and the return of Mark Hoppus, who recently battled cancer. Travis Barker, who married Kourtney Kardashian in April, will take the drums, according to TMZ.
Another clip from the video shows a middle-aged mailman who looks contemplatively into the camera and says, “Every night I pray for them to come.”(RELATED: Blink-182 Bassist Mark Hoppus Admits To Contemplating Suicide During Battle Against Cancer)

The next clip is of a woman, who informs viewers that she and her husband would “LOVE to watch them come,” followed by a construction worker, who says that “if they come, I’m getting hammered.” A female bartender adds her excitement to the video: “If they come, I’m gonna explode.”
The theme of the video continued to the very end, where the band reveals more details about what’s to come.
The video concludes by informing fans that a new single called “Edging” will be released Oct. 14th and guiding them to the band’s website for tour and ticket information.
“Edging,” of course, refers to the practice of … um … you know what? It’s probably better if you look it up yourself.
