Sublime, Slam Dunk Festival 2026 

LIVE REVIEW: It’s almost like something, or someone, is out there watching over Sublime as they take to the stage for their first ever appearance in the UK. Because everything about the atmosphere of this moment feels all too fitting for who they are as a band. The sun slowly starting to mellow out and lightly bake the Slam Dunk grounds in a golden hue feels quintessentially South Californian, allowing the trios’ hazy, pulsating, life-affirming sounds to feel perfectly at home, despite being thousands of miles away. Jakob Nowell has taken on the role of fronting the band in his stride and then some, which is no mean feat considering what it entails, physically and emotionally. Energetic and enigmatic, he bobs and weaves his way across the stage to every bubbling beat with a bravado and boldness that pays tribute to his father whilst still being his own artist, as the rest of the gang deliver their rhythms in a manner which feels wonderfully hypnotising, pulling you in and refusing to let you go. It’s as much a celebration of the Sublime’s legacy as it is a reminder of how special it is that something like this can be taking place in 2026. And as a beautiful ‘Santeria’ sees things out in sizzling style, everything in the world feels just right. Everything exactly how it should be.
