Sublime Until the Sun Explodes: New Album 2026 with Jakob Nowell – Full Tracklist & Review
Sublime returns after 30 years with Until the Sun Explodes, their first full album featuring Jakob Nowell. Read the full tracklist, highlights, and honest thoughts on this long-awaited ska-punk release dropping June 12, 2026.
Sublime’s “Until the Sun Explodes”: A Triumphant Return After 30 Years
After three decades since their iconic 1996 self-titled album, Sublime is back with Until the Sun Explodes, their fourth studio album, released on June 12, 2026. This highly anticipated project marks the band’s first full-length album featuring Jakob Nowell (son of late frontman Bradley Nowell) on vocals and guitar. It serves as both a heartfelt tribute to Bradley’s legacy and a fresh evolution of the Sublime sound.
Fans of classic Sublime — laid-back ska-punk, reggae grooves, punk energy, and witty storytelling — will find plenty to love. The album blends nostalgia with new energy, featuring collaborations with artists like FIDLAR, Skegss, H.R. of Bad Brains, G. Love, and Pennywise. Produced primarily by Jon Joseph, it runs just over 57 minutes across 22 tracks.
Why This Album Matters
Bradley Nowell’s passing in 1996 left a huge void, but Eric Wilson, Bud Gaugh, and now Jakob Nowell have kept the spirit alive. Jakob has described the record as a loving tribute to his father’s work and influence.
Singles such as “Ensenada,” “Can’t Miss You,” “Gangstalker,” and the emotional title track have generated massive excitement. The sound stays true to Sublime’s sunny Long Beach roots while feeling fresh and personal.
