Sublime’s Me Gusta Festival Expands With Cypress Hill, Slightly Stoopid and Pennywise

Sublime has added two major stops to the inaugural Sublime Me Gusta Festival: June 27 in Portland, Oregon at Tom McCall Waterfront Park and July 18 in Salt Lake City, Utah at Zions Bank Stadium. The multi-city concept debuted earlier with a May 9 launch in Fort Worth, and it is already shaping up to be one of 2026’s defining alternative crossovers.

Portland’s bill leans hard into hip-hop and ska energy, pairing Sublime with Cypress Hill, The Interrupters, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Codefendants and more. Salt Lake shifts the temperature toward punk and reggae-rock with Slightly Stoopid and Pennywise joining the lineup.

Two stages will anchor each event, with Jakobs Castle featuring Jakob Nowell and Strange Case appearing on the SVN/BVRNT Stage. Select dates also include a craft beer tasting add-on for fans 21+, blending the DIY festival ethos with curated lifestyle energy.

The expansion lands in the middle of a massive comeback arc. Sublime’s “Ensenada” dominated alternative radio in 2025, while 2026 will see the band celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1996 self-titled album with sold-out shows at Red Rocks and the release of their upcoming album Till The Sun Explodes.

More than a nostalgia run, Sublime Me Gusta positions itself as a traveling collision of reggae, punk, hip-hop and West Coast culture. If Fort Worth sets the tone, Portland and Salt Lake will test how far the revival can travel.

Tickets are on sale now at MeGustaFest.com, starting at $89.99.
