Slightly Stoopid and Sublime With Rome have announced a co-headlining Summertime 2023 tour featuring special guests Atmosphere and The Movement.
The Live Nation-produced tour’s initial slate of amphitheater dates is set to begin on July 6th at Auburn, WA’s White River Amphitheatre and snake its way through much of the country before winding up at West Palm Beach, FL’s iTHINK Financial Amphitehatre on September 3rd. Other highlights of the initial schedule include shows at San Diego, CA’s Petco Park (7/16), Austin, TX’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater (7/27), Chicago, IL’s Northerly Island (7/28), Columbia, MD’s Merriweather Post Pavilion (8/18), Wantagh, NY’s Jones Beach Theater (8/26), and more. The tour announcement noted that additional dates are due to be added to the itinerary.
The pairing of Slightly Stoopid and Sublime With Rome has historical connotations for the two groups. The late Bradley Nowell, Sublime’s original frontman, famously discovered Slightly Stoopid by accident when he overheard Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald practicing as teenagers. Nowell signed Slightly Stoopid to his Skunk Records label while they were still in high school, and later produced and appeared on the group’s 1996 debut album, $lightly Stoopid.
Together, Sublime and Slightly Stoopid helped anchor a burgeoning style at the intersection of punk, ska, reggae, and California beachside lifestyle that went on to achieve national success. Sublime has lived on following Nowell’s death via Sublime With Rome, the modern iteration of the group featuring Rome Ramirez, which has recorded and toured since 2011.
“We couldn’t be more excited for the Summertime 2023 tour,” said Slightly Stoopid’s Miles Doughty of the Summertime 2023 tour package. “We haven’t toured with Sublime since the early years of Stoopid and we are really excited to be back with our brothers on what we like to call the ultimate summer band camp. We’re stoked to debut some new songs and play new venues and cities we haven’t hit for a while. And most importantly we can’t wait to be playing music for all of you this summer… between the on-stage collabs and the backstage hangs it’s gonna be insane!”
