While we’re at it, lets take guess for the surprise album drop release date. (For fun)

April 14th is my guess. 

Agreed . I said this here long ago and no one agreed … but It’s 182 days after the release of Edging , it’s a Friday and right before they kick off the tour with enough time for fans to take it in . Makes the most sense to me. 100% .

At very least a single comes out that day . But I think we will get a surprise album too.

So...uhhh....This tour (which they already canceled weeks worth of) now starts in 4 weeks.

Still no album? We really gonna do this again?

Maybe they’ll give us a new bunny design.

Not ideal. But I think the issue the last time was the band was in almost immediate disarray. I feel like this time they're just taking way too long to perfect things.

This is what I'm hoping. There is such a lack of information this time that it is producing anti-hype. Not ideal

That doesn’t matter though because as soon as it drops you’ll be hyped

Something has to come out. Feels like there's no build up left to this tour anymore. Something has to kick into gear

The tickets have already been sold.

I have a theory, based on a friend I know in the music biz and lurking both these boards and the Coachella message boards.

I think before the first leg of the tour was postponed, a new single was supposed to come out a week or so before the first show in Tijuana and then the surprise album dropped on April 14. There’s an artist on the Coachella lineup for Sunday April 16 and Sunday April 23 that was added with a code name of 1999.ODDS when the lineup dropped. People have been speculating for months who it might be. I think it was supposed to be blink.

They’re one of the biggest SoCal bands and have never played the festival and they have ties to its founders. Their tour is with Livenation who famously will not let their acts play Coachella (different promoter - Goldenvoice) which makes me think they maybe made an exception if they played a surprise set and also it’s amazing promotion for the remaining tickets that haven’t yet sold on the tour since Coachella is live-streamed worldwide. Drop your surprise album on April 14th then play at one of the most famous festivals on the planet April 16th. Huge promo opportunity that would be all over the internet.

It also lends a reason as to why blink originally had almost all of April off in their tour schedule. Now, just last Friday, Coachella removed all mention of 1999.ODDS from its app and website outside of the original lineup poster which is interesting given just a few weeks ago they teased on social media about people trying to figure out who 1999.ODDS is. Travis not being healed yet would be a reason for them to cancel of course. Add to all of this, a couple folks on various Coachella message boards + a friend I have in the music biz have all claimed they heard it was blink, and this was before the news of the name being removed last Friday circulated. To be fair regarding the music biz friend, he doesn’t work directly with blink and sometimes the rumors they hear can be the same stuff we hear on the internet and it turns out to be bullshit.

But it would also would make a ton of sense if the new plan is what the one person a couple pages back here said - release the new single the last Friday of April just before the tour now starts in May and then drop the album early June. I think the initial plan was late Feb/early March single and April 14th for the album but they pushed the whole marketing push and plan back due to Travis’s injury to do the same thing but now surrounding the “new” start of the tour.

I know I’ve gone far down a rabbit hole, but it feels possible 🤷🏼‍♂️

^Please don't get me excited.  

Even if my hunch is correct about the Coachella thing, I doubt they’re still doing it given Travis’s injury 😢

New music before the end of the month would be awesome though.
