Sublime is launching their own touring festival called Sublime Me Gusta. The name comes from the lyric “Me gusta mi reggae, me gusta punk rock” in their song “Caress Me Down.” The festival kicks off on May 9 in Fort Worth, Texas, and Slightly Stoopid will also perform. The full lineup will be announced soon. A second date is set for June 27 in a yet-to-be-revealed city in Oregon.
Frontman Jakob Nowell, son of late lead singer Bradley Nowell, shared his excitement in a press release. “It’s always been our dream to put on a festival for our friends and family,” he said. He added that the festival will celebrate punk rock, hip hop, reggae, and surf music, showcasing the true spirit of West Coast alternative culture.
Sublime reformed at the end of 2023, with Nowell joining original members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson. Their comeback single, “Ensenada,” reached #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart in 2025. Fans can also look forward to a new Sublime album, their first in 30 years, set to release in 2026.
Get ready for a great time with Sublime and friends at Sublime Me Gusta!
