Californian ska-punk icons Sublime are set to hit Aotearoa for the very first time. The tour kicks off at Christchurch’s Wolfbrook Arena on 8 April, rolls into Auckland’s Trusts Arena on 10 April, and wraps up at Wellington’s Brewtown on 11 April.

Hailing from Long Beach, California, Sublime were one of the defining ska-punk bands of the 1990s, leaving an indelible mark on the genre.

For this historic New Zealand run, Jakob Nowell, son of the band’s late frontman Bradley Nowell, steps up as lead vocalist, having made his debut at Coachella 2024. He’s joined by original members Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums), keeping the band’s classic sound alive for a new generation.
