Sublime To Play '40 Oz. to Freedom' In Full At Red Rocks
(Beachwood) Sublime will return to the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on April 17 + 18 for two special nights marking a celebration of the 35th anniversary of their debut studio album, 40 Oz. to Freedom, and the breakthrough success of their first new album in 30 years, Until the Sun Explodes.
On April 17, the band will perform 40 Oz. to Freedom in full, while April 18 will feature their self-titled album, Sublime, performed in full, alongside fan favorites spanning the band's catalog.
The announcement follows a historic 2026 for Sublime, highlighted by two back-to-back sold-out shows at Red Rocks and two #1 radio hits, "Ensenada" and "Until the Sun Explodes," from Until the Sun Explodes, the band's first new album in 30 years. The 2026 Red Rocks shows sold out in less than a week, with the band making history on opening night by performing their hit self-titled album in its entirety for the first time ever. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, November 6.
"Did you know that "40 oz to Freedom" turns 35 next year? Well, it does! And we thought what a better way to celebrate than to bring that album to life at Red Rocks?! That's right, we will be playing the entire album cover to cover live, at Red Rocks next year in April for our annual 420 celebration! This event has been proven to sell out fast, so don't be late. Don't hesitate and get your tickets now! Oh, and don't forget to bring a friend and a couple jackets." - Bud Gaugh
Sublime recently celebrated a historic milestone as the band's iconic self-titled album was officially certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), recognizing more than 10 million units sold. The Diamond certification marks a significant moment in Sublime's legacy, honoring the band's lasting influence and the millions of fans who have carried these songs forward through the years. Earlier this year the members of Sublime were presented with a plaque to commemorate the milestone at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, where they performed an acoustic set and celebrated the exhibit Sublime: Straight From Long Beach.
After nearly three decades, Sublime returned with its first new album in 30 years, Until the Sun Explodes in 2026, featuring original members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, alongside Jakob Nowell, son of the late Bradley Nowell, on vocals. Featuring collaborations with H.R. of Bad Brains, Fletcher Dragge of Pennywise, G Love and more, the album stays rooted in the band's classic sound while opening a new chapter. The title track and lead single "Until the Sun Explodes" hit #1 on the Mediabase Alternative radio chart and Billboard Alternative Airplay chart for 3 consecutive weeks. The ascent to #1 marked Sublime's second time topping the charts with their new music, along with their 2025 single "Ensenada," which remained #1 for 8 weeks and is also featured on Until the Sun Explodes.
