game. The long-running reggae punk band announced the debut of their first-ever touring festival, Sublime Me Gusta, which is slated to debut in Forth Worth, Texas on May 9 at the Panther Island Pavilion.
According to a release announcing the event, the “beginning of a national festival series built around the timeless sound, spirit and cultural impact” of the band takes its name from the lyric “Me gusta mi reggae, me gusta punk rock” from the trio’s iconic song “Caress Me Down” from their 1996 self-titled debut album.Lil Uzi Vert Kicks Off Journey as Independent Artist With Super-Charged Singles 'Relevant' & 'Chanel Boy' “The festival embodies everything Sublime stands for: sun-soaked vibes, rebellious spirit, and a love for music without boundaries,” reads the release. Tickets for the festival start at $89.99 for general admission and are available “It’s always been our dream to put on a Festival for our friends and family,” says Sublime singer Jakob Nowell, son of the band’s late, original singer Brad Nowell. “It’s punk rock, hip hop, reggae, surf — all facets of true west coast alternative culture that has been kept alive for generations by fans and musicians alike. This is our era now and we got nothing but love for everyone coming with us.” The band will be joined on the bill by their longtime friends in fellow reggae punk band Slightly Stoopid for what is described as an “immersive day of live music, community and good vibes.” A full festival lineup will be announced in the coming weeks. The event is being co-produced by Sublime and independent promoter Brew Ha Ha Productions. A second stop in Oregon on June 27 has also been announced, though a city and venue were not revealed at press time. Each show will feature a hand-picked lineup of bands that bridge the punk-reggae gap, with the promise of a full day of music, vendors, art, food and drinks. “As someone who lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I couldn’t be more excited to launch the first-ever Sublime Me Gusta Festival right in our own backyard,” event co-producer Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions said in a statement. “Sublime and Slightly Stoopid are two of the most influential bands of our generation and bringing them together for this new festival is something truly special. Fort Worth is the perfect place to kick off Sublime Me Gusta, and we can’t wait to share the full experience with everyone.” Sublime was formed in Long Beach, Calif. in 1988 by singer/guitarist Nowell, bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh. The band’s self-titled third album was released two months after 28-year-old Nowell’s death from a drug overdose, peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The band broke up in 1996 following Nowell’s passing and reformed in 2009 with fan Rome Ramirez taking over vocal/guitar duties, changing their name to Sublime With Rome. Gaugh, who had split in 2011, rejoined the band in 2023 when Jakob Nowell took over as lead singer, followed by the dissolution of Sublime with Rome in 2024. In May of that year the band released their first new song in almost 28 years, “Feel Like That,” followed by the single “with Blink-182 drummer/producer Travis Barker and producer John Feldmann writing songs for the trio’s first new full-length album in three decades.HUNTR/X’s ‘Golden’ Claims 17th Week Atop Global Charts; Top 10 Moves for Mariah Carey, RAYE & Olivia DeanUniversal Music Japan’s Naoshi Fujikura on Mrs. GREEN APPLE & Fujii Kaze Winning Big, Challenges of Exporting Japanese Music: Interview.
