Blink-182 have started to work on new material.

Bassist Mark Hoppus has been playing around with new melodies and trying them out on his guitar at home.

The new songs will be part of the follow-up record to 2011's Neighborhoods.

However, he explained that at this stage it is too soon to say what the new album will sound like.

'It's really too early to tell. At the moment, all I've got is a bunch of chord progressions and ideas,' he told British music magazine Kerrang! 'I don't have anything that's solidified into what I'd call I song, it's more me playing my guitar at my house and coming up with melodies and little ideas.'

Mark also spoke about the band's upcoming UK tour.

After postponing the sold-out series of shows in 2011, Blink-182 will be touring British venues from Bournemouth to Cornwall this year.

When told that the Eden Sessions Outdoor Festival is set around space-age style constructions, Mark said that the group will think of something special to match the surreal surroundings.

'Nice! I can't wait to check that out ' that sounds cool,' he said. 'Actually, if it looks like something on Mars, then I'm sure Tom [DeLonge, vocals/guitar] will have a lot of ideas. If it looks like something from space, Tom will freak out about it. He's bound to come up with something cool.'

Blink-182 to headline at the Eden Sessions

Blink-182, one of the biggest pop punk bands of all time, have been confirmed to headline an Eden Session on Sunday July 8.

The Californian three-piece come to Eden following the release of their acclaimed sixth studio album Neighborhoods last September, their first record since the band split in 2005.

Blink-182, otherwise known as Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker, are probably best known for 1999's seminal Enema of the State, which went on to sell 15m copies and spawned perhaps the band's most well-known singles All the Small Things, What's My Age Again and Adam's Song.

Enema of the State was Blink-182's third studio album, following 1994's Cheshire Cat and 1996's Dude Ranch. It preceded 2001's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket and their self-titled fifth studio album, released in 2003 and heralding a more mature sound for the trio.

The band split in 2005 but reformed in 2009. New album Neighborhoods continues the band's progression into more mature themes.

Blink-182 has sold more than 27 million albums in total and has won multiple awards, including Best New Act at the 2000 MTV Europe Music Awards and Best Rock Act at the same ceremony in 2001.

Martin Williams, Eden's Marketing Director, said: 'Blink-182 are a great coup for the Eden Sessions. The band defined the pop-punk sound of the late nineties and early noughties, mixing catchy guitar hooks with lyrics that tackle serious issues in a humorous way.

'We're really excited to be part of Blink's return to the top and can't wait to hear them perform songs from their long-awaited new album at Eden.'

Blink-182 are the second announcement for the 2012 Eden Sessions. UK soul and hip-hop star Plan B will headline a show on Friday July 6. More acts will be announced soon.

Tickets to the Blink-182 Eden Session cost £35 plus booking fee.
