Ska made a comeback at Coachella 2024. No Doubt reunited for the first time in nine years, and Sublime's surviving members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson made their triumphant return with Bradley Nowell's son Jakob taking over his dad's position behind the mic (his voice sounds just like his dad's). The 14-song set featured all of the trio's biggest hits, as well as the first confirmed performance of "Romeo" since 1988.
Though this was the new lineup's first public performance, they first played together four months ago at a benefit show, which began reunion talks. Wilson and Gaugh formed Sublime with Rome, featuring Rome Ramirez on vocals, in 2009; however, Gaugh left the band shortly after because he didn't feel right playing songs "without Brad." Earlier this year, that group announced it was breaking up.
Sublime is set to play Coachella's second weekend and has two other festival appearances in the books right now. Watch footage of Jakob Nowell performing "Santeria" and with Sublime, as well as the full setlist, below.
