Sublime Announces Me Gusta Multi-City Festival Debuting May 9 in Fort Worth

Sublime is launching a multi-city touring festival called Sublime Me Gusta that will debut Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth, Texas, with Sublime joined there by Slightly Stoopid and a bill of reggae, punk and hip-hop acts. Tickets are on sale now through the festival website, with general admission prices starting at $89.99.

The Fort Worth lineup published by outlets includes Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Iration, Long Beach Dub Allstars, The Ataris, Codefendants, HR of Bad Brains, Jakobs Castle (featuring Jakob Nowell) and Strange Case, with coverage noting the bill will include additional acts to be announced. Gratefulweb and other coverage explicitly state the festival will run performances on two stages, identifying a main stage and an SVN/BVRNT Stage where Jakobs Castle and Strange Case are listed.

Organizers and production partners are named differently across reports: the festival is associated with SMKFLWR in one report, while other coverage says the event was created by Regime Music Group and Brew Ha Ha Productions. Coverage does not establish a single lead promoter; all three organizations appear in festival materials and press summaries.

Beyond Fort Worth, published stop dates include Portland, Oregon on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at Waterfront Park, where Sublime is booked alongside Cypress Hill and The Interrupters plus more acts, and Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday, July 18, 2026 at Zions Bank Stadium, where Sublime is scheduled with Slightly Stoopid, Pennywise and more. Mayhemmusicmagazine and other outlets report that the full festival lineup will be announced in the coming weeks, implying additional additions may follow the initial listings.

Festival amenities and ticket add-ons are detailed in press materials: a craft beer sampling add-on is available for $15.99 during a noon to 3:00 PM tasting window, limited to guests aged 21 and up, and is explicitly called out for the Fort Worth and Portland events. Coverage also describes the festival as an all-ages event while noting the tasting add-on’s 21+ requirement.

Sublime frontman Jakob Nowell framed the event in a press release, saying, “It’s always been our dream to put on a Festival for our friends and family. 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,” said Sublime frontman Jakob Nowell in a press release.

Coverage also places Sublime’s festival announcement alongside other 2026 commitments: a full album playthrough at Red Rocks Amphitheater on April 17, 2026 with a greatest-hits performance April 18, plus festival appearances at Innings Festival and Sonic Temple. Social reaction appeared on Facebook posts summarizing the Me Gusta lineup, where one user, Brian Scanlan, wrote, “I hope HR makes bank on this tour.he is a legend and deserves it.” Photographers credited across coverage include Christaan Felber and Alex Kluft.
