It appears blink-182 won’t be bored for very long.

One day after the Poway-bred pop-punk trio released “Bored to Death,” its first song without band estranged band co-founder Tom DeLonge, blink has announced an extensive summer concert tour that will open with a July 22 show at San Diego State University’s Viejas Arena.

The tour is timed to follow the revamped band’s new album, “California,” which is due out July 1 and will be blink’s first with Alakline trio guitarist-singer Matt Skiba in place of DeLonge. All tour dates appear below. The band will precede the tour with a handful of dates in June.

According to blink singer-bassist mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker, DeLonge quit the band in early 2015. According to DeLonge, he did not quit and, in fact, is still a member of the band, even though it is recording and now set to tour without him.

Tickets for the July 22 tour-opening show in San Diego are priced at $29, $46.75, $54, $69 and $79 each, plus service fees.

Tickets for all tour dates go on sale May 5 at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at livenation.com and ticketmaster.com (depending on the venue), and by phone at (800) 745-3000. Here is the Ticketmaster link for the San Diego show.

A Live Nation presale for the San Diego show will begin Thursday, May 5, at 10 a.m. A presale for Citi card holders will begin Tuesday at 10 a.m.
