After launching one of the most anticipated festival concepts in reggae-rock, Sublime are officially taking Sublime Me Gusta beyond Texas.
The band has announced two additional stops for the inaugural year of the traveling festival: June 27 at Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon, and July 18 at Zions Bank Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tickets are on sale now at MeGustaFest.com, starting at $89.99.
The Portland date brings a heavy lineup anchored by Sublime alongside Cypress Hill, The Interrupters, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Codefendants, DIZZYIS
DEAD and more. The SVN/BVRNT Stage will feature Jakobs Castle (featuring Jakob Nowell), Strange Case and additional guests. Portland will also include a craft beer tasting add-on from Noon to 3 PM for fans 21+, highlighting local and national breweries.
Salt Lake City follows with a lineup built for volume and legacy: Sublime joined by Slightly Stoopid, Pennywise, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Codefendants and more on the main stage, with Jakobs Castle and Strange Case again holding down the second stage.
The Fort Worth debut on May 9 at Panther Island Pavilion set the blueprint: two stages, genre collisions, and a deliberate return to the crossroads where reggae, punk and hip-hop have always overlapped. Built around the lyric “Me gusta mi reggae, me gusta punk rock” from “Caress Me Down,” the festival feels less like a nostalgia run and more like a cultural checkpoint.
The expansion arrives at a peak moment for the band. With Jakob Nowell stepping forward alongside Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, Sublime have spent the past two years reestablishing themselves on major stages. Their comeback single “Ensenada” became a seven-week No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in 2025, and 2026 will also mark the 30th anniversary of their self-titled album, celebrated with two sold-out nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in April.
Sublime Me Gusta is co-produced by Brew Ha Ha Productions and positions itself as more than a one-off tour stop. It is a national festival series built around community, scene crossover and the enduring spirit of a band that never fit neatly inside genre lines.
For Portland and Salt Lake, that spirit now stretches north and inland.
