Sublime with Rome will take its final bows this spring and summer on a lengthy 2024 farewell tour. This news comes as original Sublime members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh—who formed Sublime with Rome alongside frontman Rome Ramirez in 2009 but are both no longer in the band—have reunited as simply Sublime with founding frontman Bradley Nowell‘s son Jakob.
The 2024 Sublime with Rome farewell tour will kick off on April 11th in Catoosa, OK. The group that also features Joe Tomino on drums, Brian Allen (Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown) on bass, and Gabrial McNair (No Doubt, Green Day) on trombone/keys will crisscross the U.S. during April and May, playing shows from Atlantic City (4/2) to Red Rocks Amphitheatre (4/27) to a pair of Hawaii dates to Lincoln, CA (5/31). Then in August, the band will focus on the eastern U.S. for stops in Pittsburgh (8/14), Columbus, OH (8/16), New York City (8/24), Atlanta (9/1), and more before its final show on September 14th.
Sublime with Rome will launch its farewell tour on the heels of its final single “Love is Dangerous”, out April 5th. The song will appear on Sublime with Rome’s self-titled album due out later this year.
“I’m beyond excited to announce our upcoming farewell tour!” Ramirez said in a statement. “As we gear up to hit your city, the excitement is brewing. Get ready for an epic night filled with not only the Sublime hits but a special focus on never-before-heard SWR originals. This tour is a unique opportunity to celebrate the incredible journey we’ve had together with our fans. Join us for an unforgettable evening as we reminisce and create lifelong memories. Let’s make this farewell tour one for the books!”
Tickets for the Sublime with Rome farewell tour go on sale on Friday, March 8th at 10 a.m. local time here.
The final tour revelation follows a growing list of festival announcements for Wilson, Gaugh, and Jakob Nowell. The trio made their live debut late last year at a benefit for Bad Brains frontman Paul “HR” Hudson in L.A., which was followed the next week by Sublime with Rome’s breakup announcement. Wilson, Gaugh, and Nowell will perform under the banner of Sublime this summer at festivals including Coachella, Oceans Calling, and Levitate Music & Arts Festival.
Ramirez began performing with Wilson and Gaugh in 2009 under the name “Sublime”. After Nowell’s family threatened legal action if the trio continued using the name Sublime—which Bradley Nowell trademarked under his own name before he died of a heroin overdose in 1996—the band began touring and recording as Sublime with Rome in 2010. Gaugh left the project in 2011 and was replaced for a time by Josh Freese (Foo Fighters), with Joe Tomino joining as the new drummer last year. Then just last week, Wilson took to Instagram to announce he is no longer in Sublime with Rome and will instead play with the band known simply as Sublime.
