Sublime is launching a brand-new multi-city music festival called Sublime Me Gusta, kicking off in 2026. The first confirmed date lands on May 9, 2026 at Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth, Texas, where Sublime will headline alongside Slightly Stoopid. A second date is already locked in for June 27 in Oregon, with more cities expected to follow as the festival expands.

The name of the festival comes straight from the lyric “Me gusta mi reggae, me gusta punk rock” from Sublime’s classic track Caress Me Down. It reflects exactly what the band wants the event to stand for: the blend of reggae, punk, hip hop, surf and West Coast alternative culture that shaped their identity.

Frontman Jakob Nowell explained the vision behind the festival, saying, “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.”

Tickets for the Fort Worth date are already live, starting at $89.99 for general admission. Fans can also add a craft beer sampling option for an additional $15.99, which runs from noon to 3 p.m. and includes tastings from local, regional and national beer, cider and seltzer brands.

Sublime’s 2026 calendar doesn’t end with the festival launch. The band will perform their full 1996 self-titled album at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on April 17, followed by a greatest-hits show on April 18. Their year also includes U.S. tour dates and festival appearances abroad in Europe and Australia.

With a new festival, a global tour and a continued push to bring Sublime’s legacy to new audiences, 2026 is shaping up to be a major year for the band.
